SMART ENERGY (6) finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. KERMELIA (9) is a eight-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at this track. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. SAVVY RULER (13) is on debut. By Universal Ruler and comes from the Summer Dickson stable. Trialling in good style and looks forward enough. Watch for a betting push. PRINCE OF BONDI (7) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m1f at Ascot, beaten 7 lengths into eighth. Nicely placed to find some form.
