SPANGLED SIPPER (12) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at Hamilton. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. TOSEN LAD (3) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 15 lengths, over 6¾f at Strathalbyn. Has the ability to produce a better result. LOVE YOU BELLE (7) finished second when resuming at Mt Gambier then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at Bordertown over 6½f when beaten 1.75 lengths. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. ROCKLEA (9) was beaten 5 lengths into third at Penshurst two starts ago then finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at Kyneton. Should be prominent throughout. Chance on best figures and worth including.
