WITCH OF NOVEMBER (10) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Wagga, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is set to turn things around. LOVELY LLAMA (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Wagga, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. TALLINGAS BEAR (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7¼f at Tatura after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to take care of this field. BE DIPLOMATIC (1) is yet to break through after 14 starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 4½f at Queanbeyan. Has the speed to be prominent. Chance on best figures and worth including.
