SHARPEN THE KNIVES (1) is a nine-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent appearance over 5f at Hawkesbury. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. BLUE MOVES (4) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 5f at Goulburn. Ran seventh in a recent trial at Randwick. Ready to find winning form. BETHSHEBA (13) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 4½f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. YES MA (12) raced once in the maiden campaign when seventh at this track over 4½f back on May 25. Improver who can feature in the finish.
