NEED TO THINK (4) finished third, beaten one length, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track after she was in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMASH 'N' GRAB (8) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth after being in contention on the corner at her latest appearance over 5½f at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. RARE ORO (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SUNRISE AT KIRRA (11) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when when resuming after a lay-off last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
