PRESS OFFICE had today's rivals George Guru and Glens Wobbly behind when runner-up over a mile here two weeks ago. That was his first run since May and he can go one better with improvement likely. Frankie was on board Wadha when the latter disappointed at this track last time, though he did finish ahead of En Hiver at Warwick before that. Darsan wasn't disgraced on his debut here and better is expected, but the newcomers Barachiel, Intercept and particularly the $170,000 yearling Splice are all worth noting.
