WRITTEN IN CODE (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 7f at Sandown-Hillside after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. DIVINE THOUGHTS (8) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 4.5 lengths over 1m at Cranbourne. Winning rider Luke Nolen stays aboard and she looks sure to be in the mix. PARIAH PEARL (5) is a distance specialist who could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Mornington, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. SASQUALAH (2) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1.5 lengths over 6½f at Bendigo. Worth including.
