SAMANTH (9) finds it hard to win but was in the finish last time when beaten a head into second over 6f at this track. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Should be in the finish. FLYING STEP (7) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer M A White. Finished seventh at Rosehill over 6½f at the opening run last time in work. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Port Lincoln trial. Key runner fresh from a break. SHUTTLE RUN (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2. 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SOLAR GAZE (2) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5f at this track, scoring by 1. 4 lengths. Re-unites with Brooke King who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
