UNCLE ALF (14) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 5f contest at Gosford a week-and-a-half ago after being prominent at the bend. Has the ability to produce a better result. BENT AS HELL (2) debuted three-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished fourth over 4½f at Newcastle, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. RIVANA (6) was never in contention when resuming last start over 4½f at Newcastle, finishing ninth and beaten 6 lengths. Among the leading chances. SHARKHOP (11) has filled a minor placing on two occasions in eight starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fifth over 5f at Gosford. Goes well at this journey with two minor placings to her credit. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Solid claims on best form.
