DUBAI AFFAIR (10) has not raced since her debut on December 13 over 5½f at Launceston when she finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. SHARK ISLAND (13) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on April 10 finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 6f at Launceston. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to beat. SHE PLAYS GAMES (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fifth in a 5¾f contest at this track two weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BOULDER COUNTY (3) tackling the synthetic for the first time. On her return from a brief layoff. Kicked off the last campaign with a eighth at Kyneton over 5½f. Expected to return with a bold run.
