SPATULA (4) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt) when she was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BOWLING BLUE (5) scored over this journey in a then failed at the longer trip last time when sixth at this track (Dirt). Better placed and is a definite winning chance. PALPITATIONS (6) got a long way back when 24 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SABLE (1) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Deserves another chance.
