VESPER CHICKS (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 8 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and four minor placings from eight starts. Winning rider Sonny Leon stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. GOLD STAMP (8) started at 9/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 20 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MI BELLA GENIO (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 3. 5 lengths away in fifth over 5½f at this track. Nicely placed to get the prize. BARBSDREAMCOMETRUE (2) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on August 24, finishing fourth and beaten 5. 5 lengths over 7f at Canterbury Park (Dirt). Can make her presence felt.
