BERTUS (2) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at Kembla Grange last start after being in the firing line on the corner, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at Newcastle the run before. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. GIZA (8) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 6f at this track after she gave away a big start. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. SHALMUM (10) found the line strongly last time when third over 5½f at Nowra. Suited at the longer journey and is among the winning hopes. SANTOLINI (13) finished 4 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 5f at Queanbeyan on October 25. Worth plenty of thought.
