HOTZINO (7) went forward when resuming last start over 6f67yards at Taree and held on well for third, beaten 2 lengths. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TO BE FRANK (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 7½f at Ballarat Synthetic. Open to improvement and is among the chances. OFF THE PRESS (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when eighth over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (13) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when tenth over 1m3/4f at Grafton. In the right race and should be in the mix.
