RANHITA (9) missed the frame last time out when fourth over 6¾f at Wyong. Still a maiden but has been in the money on six occasions. Goes well at this journey with two minor placings to her credit. Won't find this as tough. Well placed so expecting a strong run. LADY ICHIKAWA (6) is back after a break of nine months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 6½f at Scone. Tuned up with a seventh in a recent trial at Wyong. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. SIZZLING TALE (10) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 3 lengths away in fourth over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Another bold showing is expected. VERCELLI (12) has not raced since her debut back on December 24 when she finished fourth over 5f at Tamworth. Improver who can feature in the finish.
