MISS TALLCHIEF (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. DUBAI DANCER (7) ran well below her best last time over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into ninth at 11/4. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. CENTRE SQUARE (10) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside on August 14. Among the better hopes. VARANE (1) lines up for the first time since July 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Bendigo. Lines up. For the first time for trainer patrick & michelle payne. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
