ASTRAL FLAME (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside on debut. Sure to go well again. TIME TO BACA (11) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 6f at this track. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. BAZABALL REWARDED (8) is a maiden after three starts and well fancied last time, drifting back early but missed the frame when a 1.75 lengths fifth at Moonee Valley. Won't find this assignment as tough. Capable of testing this field. JAKIVY (3) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Has a decent record at this trip with seven minor placings from 10 tries and is among the main hopes.
