CIRCUS CIRCUS (2) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 2. 75 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 6f at Pakenham. Watch for another barnstorming finish. KAPOLEI (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 2. 75 lengths when fourth in a 5½f contest at Bendigo two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ELEGANT FORCE (4) is a 10-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent appearance over 1m1 3/4f at Ipswich after she got a long way back in the run. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. GRANDSTRAZ (5) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 6f at Kilmore eight months ago. Lining up. For the first time for trainer Rodney Foster. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Don't underestimate.
