STARIANNE (1) finished 4.5 lengths away in ninth last time out over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to prove very tough to beat. LIBICA (7) ran below expectations last time at Sandown-Hillside, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths starting at 6/1. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ROYAL INVADER (3) turned things around last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 7f at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. BABY ALEX (4) finished second two runs back at Geelong then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
