FOO FIGHTER (4) resumed over 6½f at this track last start when he sat close to the before fading in the straight to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Expected to be in the finish with the addition of blinkers. SASKATOON BERRY (8) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten a nose. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAKURA MAGIC (7) returns after a lay-off of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7f at Casino. Among the better hopes. GAVIN (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Murwillumbah, beaten 5.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
