DESTINY'S PROPHET (5) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 5f at Echuca. Will be hard to beat. HI POPPY (13) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Albury, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Faces an easier assignment so she is sure to be prominent. FORBIDDEN GEMSTONE (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 6f at Queanbeyan. Has the class to take this out. MARTHA LAVINIA (6) finished tenth over 5f at Sapphire Coast at her most recent appearance on February 3. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Sure to make her presence felt.
