SALTY PEARL (2) resumed last start over 6f in the G3 Manfred Stakes at this track and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten one length. Stiffer assignment here but she is right in this. JENNI GONE BONKERS (4) gave a sight here last time, leading until claimed in the straight and finishing seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m1f. Takes on a better field this time but is expected to be in the finish. CHATEAU EZE (6) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid fourth when resuming last start over 5½f in the G3 Peter Le Grand Stakes at this track. Among the leading chances. MYSTERY 'N' DRAMA (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1m at Caulfield Heath. Stiffer assignment here but cannot be underestimated.
