THANKSGIVING DAY had only has three runs to date, but has improved with each start, finishing second in the latest over 1000m, just 0.7L behind the winner. He was only grabbed late that day and could be the one to side with here. AUTOGRAPH battled all the way down to the wire when finishing fifth in his latest outing over 1000m, 3.1L back from the winner. The colt hails from a stable who has been having it's winners recently and should be right up there when they hit the line. NICCI BEACH is an unraced Declarationofpeace gelding from the Tony Peter yard and any betting support for him should be respected. The same comment should apply to DOG IN THE FOG who is a Vercingetorix gelding from the Mike and Mathew De Kock stable who has his first run here.
