I'M CRAFTY (1) has not appeared since he finished second over 1m at Pinjarra Scarpside on January 12. Comes here with definite claims. FAMOUS DAIN (5) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to finish 1.3 lengths away in third over 6f at Belmont Park. Rates highly and expected to go well. HIGHLAND FLAIR (2) accounted for a maiden field over 6½f at Belmont Park last start, finishing 0.6 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Brayden Gaerth was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Harder here but should be involved in the finish. UNIVERSAL HOTNESS (4) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Ascot over 6f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
