DESERT VOICE (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when ninth in a 7f contest at Newcastle four weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so she is perfectly placed to score. JULIETTE'S JOY (8) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1m at Queanbeyan. Leading player. FINAL RESET (2) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into seventh over 1m at Canberra. Has never missed the frame second up. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. PROPHET'S MAGIC (10) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 7f at Sapphire Coast. Must be included.
