TOP ACT (11) was below her best last time when eighth over 6f at Doomben, beaten 11 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. HE'S POPLAR (4) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 5f190yards at Grafton. Solid prospects. FINE AND RARE (3) is a 14-start maiden who has been in the money six times. Could only manage sixth at the latest appearance over 1m3f at Gold Coast. Has weighed in at all three tries over this distance. Comes down a level this time. Capable of testing this field. THREE GRACES (10) finished third last time out over 7¾f at Grafton, making it six career minor placings. Has a good record at this distance with four top-three results from six starts. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. One of the better hopes.
