REASONABLE (10) made progress last start to finish third over 6½f at Hawkesbury after being in the firing line on the bend. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. KOTAISHI (4) remains a maiden after 10 runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but after being prominent at the corner could only manage to finish fourth over 7½f at Newcastle. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. CUP OF AMBITION (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading for most of the way before fading late to finish fourth over 6½f at Tuncurry. Among the main hopes. RICKYTHESTEAMBOAT (5) returned from a break with a solid fourth, winding up late at the end of 5½f at Warwick Farm after settling well back. Among the chances and will be tough to stop.
