HEMLOCK STONE (2) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1m2 1/2f at this track. Can run over the top of them late. DARK LOOKS (8) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 1m3f at Northam. Facing a tougher assignment but expected to measure up. I LOVE YOUR SMILE (1) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. Group 3 placegetter BERNBRAE (4) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1m2 1/2f at this track, beaten a nose. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.
