COLD BREW (4) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Canterbury over 6f. Has upside and gets his chance to break through. IVANA (14) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SLEUTH (7) is still a maiden after eight runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing seventh over 1m at Hawkesbury. Expected to feature in the finish this time. BLUE TONGUE (3) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 3 lengths from the winner in sixth over 7f at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
