UNLEESHING (5) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage sixth last start over 5½f at Canterbury. Worth noting Olivia Chambers is the change of rider. Will find this easier than last start. Likely to feature. SUMMER SOIREE (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 8 lengths at Wyong over 6½f. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and shapes as a key contender. FULL METAL JACKET (3) finished third last start over 6½f at this track when he worked home well, beaten one length. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZALE (6) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Randwick, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in contention.
