Group 2 placegetter EXTREME THREAT (3) is a handy type who resumes after a break of five months. At her last appearance she finished eighth over 7f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter for a recent trial at Cranbourne. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Should be in the finish. ELDERBERRY (9) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 5½f at Bendigo. Ticks all the right boxes. LADY CEDERBERG (11) was a narrow winner in a at Cranbourne then out of the money last time when fourth at Werribee. Down in the weights on last run. Expected to be competitive. PRAIRIE FLOWER (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5½f at Flemington. Meets easier opposition this time. Sure to be thereabouts.
