FIRST BLESSING (7) is back from a break of 11 months. Sat on the pace at her only start and held on well for third over 5½f at Sale. Jumps from a wide alley but looks the one to beat. AQUILION GIRL (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 5f at Cranbourne. Rates highly and expected to go well. MISS LIL (11) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 5f at Cranbourne, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Has the talent to produce a better result. BIGCAT (13) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn before tiring to finish fourth over 6½f at Bendigo last time out. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
