CINCH (11) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 6 lengths, last time over 7½f at Cranbourne. Will drift back but wind up late. Major player based on that debut run. Follow up. HISAKO LADY (13) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7½f at Mornington, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SACRIFY (7) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at Cranbourne two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Blinkers are added in a positive move by the stable. WOKOU (10) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 7½f at Mornington. Worth plenty of thought.
