DAYTONA DIVA (2) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1. 75 lengths over 1m2f in the LR Strutt Stakes at Hobart. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Sure to go well again. CRACK THE SHUTTERS (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1. 3 lengths away in second over 1m2f in the LR Launceston Guineas at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. FIERCE 'N FABULOUS (7) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1m2f at Hobart. Watch for a much better run. ZULEIKA (11) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1m at Ararat, scoring by 4. 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
