NIKITA'S GEM (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 18 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SPUN AROUND (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Winning rider Fraser Aebly stays aboard and she is a solid top-three hope. SPEAK UP (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when seventh over 1m at this track four weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. GOOD AS GONE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track over 6½f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
