TORIE'S ROSE (6) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CALL ME GROUCHY (2) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 6f at Kembla Grange, beaten 5.5 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. FINEST ART (9) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. KOURA WHIRA (8) stepped out for her debut over 5½f at Wyong back on February 8 and finished eighth, beaten 6 lengths. Worth following up.
