SHARPEN THE KNIVES (9) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 6f at this track. Likely improver with winning claims. FLYIN' THE PIN (1) raced on the speed on debut last start and held on well for third over 5f at Goulburn. Tricky draw to overcome but a big run is anticipated. FROSTY JO (2) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Tuned up with a sixth in a recent trial at Warwick Farm. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. MOUNTAIN TOP (3) resumes from a lay-off of seven months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1m1 1/2f at Canterbury. Placed in a recent trial. Can kick off with a bold showing.
