SMILINGATTHEMOON (2) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she was never in contention and was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 5½f at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. BREVILLE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NICE ENCOUNTER (4) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third, beaten 5 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). One of the main contenders. TAMARANDO COAST (3) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
