GUARDING HEAVEN (12) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 6f at Belmont Park. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. IMPERIALIZE (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when sixth over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. Will strip fitter and can find peak form this time. PRO LATTE (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 7f at Belmont Park. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to run well again. REGINALD (11) produced another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1m at Pinjarra Scarpside. Well placed to bounce back.
