ZARAS SPECIAL (6) is a lightly-raced but progressive filly returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Last appeared when she scored easily by 14 metres at this circuit and distance in just her second start. Has trialled and could go through her grades this time in. GDANSK (7) made an encouraging return when runner-up in a higher-graded race. Draws wider but will strip fitter and looks nicely placed at this level. GRACE SHANNON (3) has finished top-two in her three starts at this venue since a spell, winning her maiden from a similar draw two back. Hasn't raced for four weeks but was kept up to the mark with a trial. Major player. HOPPALONGPOG (4) should be hitting peak fitness and performed well for a 1.5m third here two back.
