Three-year-old filly, Who Dares, beaten on her first try out a fortnight ago, should make amends and win the supporting and fifth event, Pakpattan Plate class IV division II over 1300 metres distance.
She should be followed by Empire Maker and Fidel Castro among ten runners, if there are no last-minute withdrawals.
Trump Coup, who was beaten by Fidel Castro on May Day meeting over the sprinting distance of 1000 metres, should have the better of his nine rivals in the fourth race.
