Earlier on the seven-race card, another progressive mare on a seven day back-up can also take the next step in a Class 2 handicapover 1400m to open the meeting.

Tale Of The Kraut, a four-year-old daughter of former three-time Group 2 winner Trusting and trained by Dean Mirfin, looks posed to maintain a near perfect record on her home track after sneaking home in a good Class 1 just a week ago. Prior to that, she fought on well to run a place in a Highway at Rosehill behind the smart Princess Cordelia, and she draws a nice gate for today's assignment.

In fact, it might be a bumper day all-round for improving mares. Shortly after in a BM 58 handicap over 1400m, another local girl from the rival Roy McCabe yard also has a terrific chance coming off a last start win in this grade at Warren.

Gaze Beyond, a five-year-old daughter of former multiple Group 1 winner Intergaze, looks well placed to add a sixth career win to her already impressive record after 23 starts.
