LOMBADINA (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 6f at Belmont Park only to fade late and finish fourth. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. MORE LIKELY (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at Pinjarra Scarpside, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 7f. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ROMMEO (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 7f at Belmont Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. Lay-off. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
