METAPHORICALLY (1) is a last-start winner over 6¼f at Canterbury, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.2 lengths. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is among the leading chances. SAKIMA (10) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when tenth over 6½f at this track after she settled well back. Cherry-ripe now and is a key runner. ART'S ALIVE (4) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 6f at this track, beaten a neck. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. GRAND PRAIRIE (11) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 5½f at Randwick Kensington, scoring by a nose. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tom Sherry was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run.
