DUN WITH THE BLUES (1) is a talented mare who was well held last time out in the tougher A T A Stakes won by Queen Alina over 1m3f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into eighth. Is going okay this campaign, recording three wins and four minor placings from nine starts. Expected to feature. HOIST THE COLOURS (3) missed the frame in a in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when second over 1m1 3/4f at Albany. Rates strongly in this company and looks a leading player again. SIROTA (6) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1m2f at Pinjarra last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Bunbury the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. OCEAN AURA (2) turned things around last start and got the job done by a long neck over 1m2f at Bunbury. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
