PERSEVERE (1) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing seventh at Doomben and beaten 6 lengths. Won't find this assignment as tough. Bold showing expected. SKATER (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1m1/4f at Ipswich. Rates highly on best figures. DARK TANGENT (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 1m at Eagle Farm. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. DEAL AN ACE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Eagle Farm, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
