Glen Boss has the ride on Sebring four-year-old Bring Me The Maid who hasn’t raced since a seventh to Hazard in Brisbane’s Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes (1350m) back in early June.

It has been a long time between drinks for her too with her last win being in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) back in August last year.

Snitzel mare Ygritte is another returning four-year-old, the Listed Gosford Guineas (1200m) winner from April out to atone for a last start 13^th to Loved Up in the Scone Inglis Guineas back in mid-May.
