CRANBERRIES (15) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Wyong the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. IOANE (2) resumed two-and-a-half weeks ago over 7f at Randwick Kensington and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. HOOLIGAN TOMMY (6) resumed last start over 6¾f at Wyong and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Tough to stop again. GLEAMING (5) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 9 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1m at this track. Appeals as a top-four contender.
