VELVET SKIES (6) produced a 2. 75L second behind a subsequent winner over course and distance last time. Races off an unchanged mark and looks set to go one better. Strong chance. SALAH BELLE (9) finished 1. 25L behind Velvet Skies in fifth two runs back. Improved for third under Nathan Crosse tackling the trip here latest. Expected to be in the mix. Three-time course winner CLONMACASH (2) missed out on the money when a head fourth behind Salah Belle seven-days-ago. Market can guide. BELLA COLOMBIA (11) drops down in distance following a gutsy second of fourteen effort at huge odds here last week. Makes appeal.
