INITIATE (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Goulburn over 6f, beaten 0. 6 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Tackling tougher opposition but is capable of featuring. SETTA ICON (2) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Sapphire Coast but raced below expectations last time over 7f at Kembla Grange, finishing sixth and beaten 4. 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. KIRWANS BRIDGE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Wagga, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. ALEUTIAN (8) booted up from the inside draw to race on the speed last time out but weakened to be beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 6½f at Newcastle. Deserves another chance.
