GULF OF AMERICA produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. She took the lead at the 200m mark before getting caught late by Jingleberry. She would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1450m. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat. JAPANESE GARDEN finished 1.2 lengths behind the top choice on debut. She would have gained from the experience and should make the natural progression. BACK FROM WAR stayed on after racing in a prominent position over 1200m last time. She should love the rise to 1450m and from pole position, she can feature. OPERA FAN is the stable companion of the third choice. The manner in which she finished off her penultimate run suggests that she will love the rise to 1450m. Wesley Marwing knows her well and the combination can finish in the placings.
