GREYGENTA (7) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at Canberra last start after being prominent at the bend, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at Goulburn the run before. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. EXOTHRILL (2) is yet to break through after six starts. Placed in a then last time out was fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Blinkers added this time. Great chance to get off the mark this time. TOMCAT FLOWERS (1) went forward when resuming last start over 5f at this track and held on well for third, beaten 5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. LORIKEET (9) last appeared on April 1 when a good seventh over 6¾f at Ipswich, beaten 3 lengths. Now under the care of new trainer John Nisbet. Among the better hopes.
