IVANA (13) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle). This offers her a great chance of breaking through. OUR COSMIC BELLE (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f27yards at Moruya, beaten 2.25 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HERON (6) was unplaced on debut then last start finished second over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle) after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. CIAO BELLA MIA (9) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 7f at Kembla Grange after she was well back on straightening. Likely to be thereabouts.
