AUTORA (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when she worked home well and finished a nose away in fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at Ipswich. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to take this out. NAGAMIE (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 7f at Gold Coast. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. EIGHT CYLINDERS (2) was quickly into stride over 1m at this track last time and went on to score by 0.8 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. SCRIBBLE (5) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten a head. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
