TOPAZ (7) finished fifth two runs back at Broome then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 7f38yards at Broome. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. CLOSE TALKER (2) lifted strongly to score in a then was prominent in the run last time before finishing fourth over 6f at Broome. Rates highly and expected to go well. IMA WILD GIRL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f38yards at Broome, beaten 7 lengths into eighth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has the ability to take this out. SHOULDER PATCH (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 12th at Broome over 6½f after he got a long way back in the run. In the right race and should be about the money.
