1R : SUSSING (9) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1200m at this track, an improvement on her sixth at this track the run before. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to turn the recent form around. SORRENTO SECRET (8) finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1000m at this track a week ago. Steps up in distance today. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. PURPLE MARTINI (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves another chance. LIGHTNING BLAZE (11) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1000m at this track, finishing 5.5 lengths back in sixth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
2R : SUPERSTAR (9) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just half a length over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. CARADOC (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to take a forward position. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MIRACLE OF HANUKAH (8) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m in Group 3 class at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. ZAFFERANO (11) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent outing over 1400m at Group 1 level at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
