URAFIKI (7) recorded her first win last start over 6f at Moruya, getting home by a long neck. Re-unites with Pierre Boudvillain who was on board last start. Capable of taking the next step. SHAQUILA (2) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 5½f at Coonamble last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Dubbo the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. O'SO DEMANDING (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Newcastle, beaten 4 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so she can play a big role. PARTHENOPE (6) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with a long neck to spare over 6f at Goulburn. Not to be discounted.
