HASTA LA SPARKLE (8) returned from a lay-off a month ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 6f at Naracoorte. Taking on a better field but she is fitter and good enough to feature. CIELAO (13) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at Strathalbyn over 6f. Progressive type who can play a role. JANDAMI (5) was always well out of his ground when 15 lengths from the winner in 13th over 6f at Strathalbyn last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at Horsham the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HUGHIE'S SPIRIT (4) finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth at his most recent outing over 6f at Colac after he got a long way back in the run. Appeals as a top-four contender.
