PARIAH PEARL (1) had been in sound form but last start she was safely held when tenth over 7f at Caulfield. Today's rider Tom Prebble has a decent record aboard this five-year-old mare so a return to form is anticipated. JAZZ AFFAIR (3) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 7f at Flemington. Outdashed but got home well and appears suited by the longer journey. Hard to hold out. KIRA (4) broke through for a deserved win last time at Sandown-Hillside after filling a minor placing at the first two starts this campaign. Weight penalty this time but she is racing very well. Has winning claims on best figures. SURFIN' BIRD (5) scored last start at Geelong to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Takes on a tougher assignment but is among the better hopes.
