SUMMER SOIREE (1) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 5½f at Hawkesbury. The extra journey should play into her hands. Perfectly placed to salute. GLORY (4) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 6½f at Canberra. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. KICKOFF (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth over 6¾f at this track a week-and-a-half ago after being in contention on the bend. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. HOO HAA (7) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 6f at Newcastle. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
