BRAYDEN STAR (12) looks in for a big prep after steaming home over the top of his rivals when a 0.8 len winner over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside second up on May 27. Looks up to this and should be able to race closer from the draw third up. FRENCH EMPEROR (8) loomed up strongly from the wide draw before condition gave out late when a gritty second over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside on May 27. Has a good record this track and trip and will take plenty of stopping. UNUSUAL CULTURE (11) is a progressive mare racing well through her grades. Shuffled back from the inside gate and strong through the line when an unlucky third over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside on May 27. Down sharply in weight and not to be underestimated. JIMMY THE BEAR (1) classy type fitter after two runs back. Looking for this trip now after running on late when second over 1400m at this track on June 3. Undefeated this trip and gets good weight relief with the claim.
