PALIKARI (5) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 6f at Gosford. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. BALMIERRO (6) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when seventh over 6½f at Warwick Farm. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. WILD FLASH (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Warwick Farm, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. AWTAAR (9) is a six-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Goulburn. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
