ALPINE DAME (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5f at Devonport Synthetic, finishing third and beaten a neck. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. LADY FERN (11) was well fancied last start over 5f130yards at Launceston when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has managed four minor placings from five runs at this circuit. Should be in the finish. ELLISPHERE (6) is a five-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 5f at Devonport Synthetic after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. CELTIC ROSE (10) has going aboard after she was well held last time out in seventh over 5f at Devonport Synthetic. Will find this tougher but is too good to overlook.
