NOSIE BY NATURE (7) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 1.2 lengths, over 4½f at Murray Bridge. Hard to go past. TAKASHIMA (2) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ms Dakotah Keane is a key engagement. Likely improver with strong prospects. A GOOD YARN (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 5½f at Hamilton. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COEUR DE LYON (1) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the when resuming run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
