TATTLE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Eagle Farm, beaten 3 lengths. Strips fitter and can make amends. PERFECT ENCOUNTER (2) started at 5/2 last time but could only manage ninth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 6½f. Record at this track is strong. Among the leading chances. TIJUANA TWO STEP (7) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being prominent at the turn to score by 7 lengths as public elect over 6f at Roma. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of another big performance. FUN SPONGE (1) was below his best last time when ninth over 1m1/4f at Beaudesert, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
