11:15 p.m. (NZ time) ~ 9:15 p.m. (Melb time) R8 2 Sans Doute (4 m Not A Single Doubt – My Prerogative) – Michael Dee; she resumed with a terrific run for a close second in the Benchmark 70 1000 metres here on 6 October, however wilted late after contesting a competitive pace in the Benchmark 70 1100 metres on 22 October at Seymour. She has drawn awkwardly (9) in the A$60,000 Benchmark 70 1000 metres, but should nonetheless race competitively if she is able to emulate her first-up performance here. NZ TAB fixed odds: $3.80 & $1.70.
