LOTTA CITY (5) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 6f at Mornington. Will be tough to hold out again. FRANKEL'S WORD (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at Sandown-Lakeside over 7f, beaten 8 lengths. Improvement to come and the addition of blinkers is a positive sign. REPRESENTATIVE (7) is a Shamus Award filly who cost AUD $ 40,000 (Inglis 2024 Gold Yearling Sale) as a yearling and makes debut. Placed in most recent trial. Shapes well for this, can measure up at first outing. JENNI BASSETT (4) is a three-year-old filly who is still a maiden after seven starts but has been in the placings two times. Failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last start, beaten 18 lengths into eighth over 7f at Geelong. Expected to do far better this time.
