SMART POPPY (1) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.8 lengths over 6f at Narrandera. Likely to measure up again. MYSTIC FLAME (11) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Narrandera, finishing third and only 1.4 lengths from the winner at the end of 7f. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KERMA ART (6) accounted for a maiden field over 7f at Narrandera last start, finishing 1.75 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Holly Durnan was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. AT THE MINT (7) is on a quick back-up after finishing seventh in better company nine days ago over 6½f at Wangaratta. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
