MARK THE SKY (3) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 5½f at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. MYSTIC SMILE (8) is a locally trained maiden galloper resuming. After a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a fifth over 5½f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Fitter for a recent trial win. Leading contender. HE'S A MACHINO (1) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing sixth over 6f in the G2 Karrakatta Plate at this track. Expected to be in the finish. ANACONDA JONES (2) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 1. 75 lengths over 5f at this track last time out. Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Must be respected.
