MORNING DARLING (5) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 1.5 lengths, over 6f at Ballarat. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Bold showing expected. LACEMAKER (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at Werribee over the same trip. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LAUGH WITH ME (8) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race when she worked home well and finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at Horsham. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. KYOKUSHIN (3) on the synthetic for the first time. On his return from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Kicked off the last campaign with a fourth at Donald over 6f. Winning rider Jack Hill stays aboard. Must be respected. }.
