SANTASIA (12) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at Kyneton, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths starting at 7/1. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. SIOUX SPIRIT (4) finished third when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Mornington. Sure to prove tough to beat. Set Weights EET 'N' SPICY (13) finished out of the money two starts back then she got a long way back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 5f185yards at Wangaratta seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Jake Noonan gets the best out of this five-year-old mare. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. TAPO (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 5f at Bendigo. Likely improver with strong prospects.
