BEAUTY EDGE (1) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 6f at Canterbury. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. DUMEBI (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Warwick Farm, beaten 5 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a leading player. RAMIUS (6) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 6f, beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. NAY PEE CEE (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6¼f at Kempsey, beaten 0.8 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.
