EXPRESSO LOVE (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at Eagle Farm after she was in contention on the turn. Has further improvement to come and is worth following up. MA'S EPIC (5) finished 3.5 lengths back in third over 6f at Eagle Farm last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. MEHAJIR (4) resumed over 6f at Sunshine Coast last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by a head. Open to plenty of improvement and she is a major player again. VADABOOM (6) last appeared when he finished 11th over 1m at Bendigo on August 10. Now under the care of new trainer Adam Campton. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
