IRISH SALLY (5) got well back over 1m1f at Eagle Farm last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in eighth. The engagement of Alisha Donald is a positive move. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to turn things around. HARBELLE (1) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 1.75 lengths when sixth over 1m3f at Ipswich nine days ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BADER (3) got well back over 1m2 1/4f at Doomben last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 5 lengths away in 11th. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. GRIPPING (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Sunshine Coast two starts back then landed the prize by one length last time out over 1m1 1/2f at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
