SNITZANOVA (6) was successful last start over 1m in the G2 Sandown Guineas at Caulfield, getting home by a long neck to make it three wins on the bounce. Winning rider Daniel Stackhouse retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. COSMIC FIRE (11) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 5½f at Sunshine Coast a week ago, getting home by a nose. Andrew Mallyon scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. BAUHINIA (14) hasn't raced since a win in the Wyong Magic Millions 3yo Classic over 6f a month ago. Kept up to the mark with a placing in a recent trial at Rosehill. Deserves serious consideration. TUILERIES (18) scored last start at Randwick to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has to be respected in this company.
