EZEIZA (4) raced below her best last time when sixth over 5f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. SCORSESE (2) showed good early speed last start over this journey at Pakenham before finishing third, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. SMUGGLER'S BAY (1) is a distance specialist who is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 5f at Yarra Valley. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. MYSTERY BLONDE (5) settled well back then found the line powerfully to score by a neck at this course and distance when when resuming from a break last time out. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
