EASTWATCH (2) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7f at Sale. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. KISSED EARTH (12) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a third last start over 1m at Sandown-Hillside. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MANHATTAN VIEW (13) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6½f at Bendigo after being in contention all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. PRAY DAY (8) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing seventh, beaten 8 lengths, last time over 7f at Sale. Plenty of scope for improvement.
