STEAMY MIST (7) drifted well back when resuming last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 5f at Cranbourne. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. HOME ZONE (11) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing ninth last time out over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. BOHEMIAN ANGEL (8) accounted for a maiden field over 5½f at Ballarat Synthetic last start when fresh from a break. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Emily Pozman was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. MISS COTOLETTA (9) was disappointing over 5½f at Sale last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Likely improver with strong prospects.
