NOW IS THE HOUR (3) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 6¼f at Canterbury, beaten 1.75 lengths. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. OLUFSEN (4) is a three-year-old gelding at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by Zoustar from the former top race mare No More Tears. Was out of the placings at Rosehill at his most recent trial. SHIVERMEPINK (8) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at Gosford, beaten 1.2 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. FACEOFF (2) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 5f at Kembla Grange. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
