DESERT BREEZE (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 7½f at this track (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEBUTANTES DELIGHT (1) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths. Must respect recent market confidence so give him another chance. BY DECREED (3) is a eight-start maiden who has been in the money two times. Could only manage eighth at the latest appearance over 7½f at this track (Turf). Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from three starts. Top-three proposition. MIDNIGHT APPROVAL (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 7½f at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. In the right race and is one of the big hopes.
