OFF THE SCALE (8) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5 lengths behind Snitzanova over 1m in the G3 NJC Spring Stakes at Newcastle. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from four starts. Bold showing expected. TIGON PRINCESS (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Taree, beaten 2.2.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. CHEEKY NUGGET (11) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1m at Taree last start. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Should be involved in the finish. FLYING BANJO (3) ran below expectations last time at Inverell, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Deserves another chance.
