PLAY IT AS IT LAYS (9) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 5f at Emerald after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. ARTURETTA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6¼f at Cairns, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. OHMIKKIUSOFINE (6) failed to figure again last time over 5f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. FIVELINEDITTY (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 5½f at Ingham, beaten 3 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves his chance.
