AMANECER (7) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 14th, beaten 7 lengths, over 5f at Coffs Harbour after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Will strip fitter and is worth following up. PEREGRINATION (6) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.5 lengths back in fourth over 5f at this track. Jumps from a low gate and should go very well. PRINCE OF MARAKESH (3) finished one length from the winner in fourth last start after being prominent at the turn over 4½f at Texas, an improvement on his eighth at Ipswich the run before. Taking on a better field but he is worth another chance. MIA'S DREAM (9) was below her best last time, finishing 11th and beaten 8 lengths over 6f at Murwillumbah. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
