TOURNELLE (3) finished second two runs back at Bendigo then improved last time out to score by 1. 5 lengths over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside. Finds an easier assignment and can salute again. KHADIME (10) has been freshened since a safely held ninth at Sale over 5½f four weeks ago. Holding the fitness judging by a recent trial win at Flemington. Serious contender. HAPPY LINK (8) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at Sandown-Hillside over 7f when she was beaten one length. Will find this easier than last start. Should measure up. SIRENA (7) is a handy type who resumes after a break of five months. At her last appearance she finished ninth over 7f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 12 lengths. Fitter for three trials, filling a minor placing at her most recent appearance. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Deserves respect on best figures.
