BIRD WHISTLE (12) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Skyhook over 7f at Hawkesbury, beaten 4 lengths into eighth. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. MISTER RIZZ (3) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Tom Charlton barn. Back from a break after finishing fifth over 1m1f in the G3 Darley Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) at his last appearance seven months ago. Ran fifth in a trial over 6f at Randwick and he is among the leading chances. VILLA CASTINA (15) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 7¼f at Muswellbrook, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. BLUE EYED BRIGID (13) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4. 5 lengths into ninth over 6½f at Kembla Grange. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
