RECKLESS ABANDON (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Led throughout and had a bit on them. Promising type who can measure up again. LITTLE BOY BLUE (5) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten 0.9 lengths into third over 1200m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. STATUS SYMBOL (1) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Fish Tales in Group 2 grade at Greyville over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Far easier this time and fitter again. Gets chance to bounce back. BRIGITTE ANNE (4) was safely held when fifth last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. In the mix.
