CARA CARA (1) looks close to a win after five minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 6f at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn to go forward. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COFFEE CRISP (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 6½f at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six outings. Leading player again. HAPPY VALENTINE (5) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 6f at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. METAPHYSICAL (2) was beaten 4 lengths into eighth in a 7f contest at this track five weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
