DEVIL KICK (1) wound up strongly in the run home last start to register an impressive win over 1m1f at Rockhampton. Has been in super form this time in work, finishing in the money at each of her seven starts. Among the leading chances. VANA STAR (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Rockhampton but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 1m1f at Rockhampton after being prominent at the corner. The engagement of Brooke Johnson is a positive move. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEICA BITA FUN (3) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1m1f at Rockhampton, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLYING ARION (9) was beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 1m1f at Rockhampton two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
