TAYLA THE SAILOR (9) knuckled down strongly to get within a long neck of the winner in third last start over 5½f at Dubbo. Will be tough to stop again. TIANNAH (10) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in seventh over 7f at Tamworth. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SHOWTIME SASSY (8) is a 13-start maiden who has been in the money five times. Could only manage fourth at the latest appearance over 6½f at this track. Has recorded three minor placings from seven tries at this distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. SPIRIT ROUGE (3) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Kieren Hazelton barn. Finished off last campaign with a 11th at Moe five months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. One of the main chances.
