SON O' WAR (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1m1 1/2f at this track. Will drift back but is expected to be in the finish again. AL RAS BLUES (5) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in sixth over 7f at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. GRACED (7) debuted two-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished seventh over 7½f at Hawkesbury, beaten 4 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. RAZELLA (8) was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1m2f at Wyong two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
