EXOTIC DANCER (11) was safely held when fourth last start over 7f at Kembla Grange, beaten 5.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a good win on debut at Canberra Acton. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. SENALDA (10) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 5½f at Scone. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BIANCO NERO (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on July 13 finishing 11th and beaten 11 lengths over 1m at Newcastle. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SHAQUILA (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths at Wellington over 5½f. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
