MALU (1) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when prominent at the turn before winding up in second over 1m at this track, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to return to winning form. ELLIPTIC (2) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 5 lengths win over 1m at this track (Dirt) to make it three in a row. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Sure to go well. BUSTIN BAY (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when when resuming after a lay-off last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1m at this track (Dirt). Must be included among the main hopes. GONE AND FORGOTTEN (6) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
