CROSSANNA (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1m at this track (Turf). Well placed and happy to have her on top. DEAL'EM AND WEEP (5) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 54 lengths, last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. ELODINE (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/4f. Julio Felix has registered two minor placings when on board. Should be involved in the finish. MACHIVA (6) is yet to break through but has been in the money two times including last start when second over 7½f at this track (Turf). Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Solid top-three chance again.
