FLYING NOVA 123 (8) broke through for her maiden win over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish. TENTADORRA (4) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track (Dirt) over 1f80yards. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. PAINTED BLOOD (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 1.5 lengths when fifth over 1f at The Red Mile six-and-a-half weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to open his account. RETURN VALIANTLY (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement.
