SICILIAN PRINCESS (14) was beaten just a long neck last start when fresh from a lay-off and landed her first top-three finish in the process at Balaklava over 6f. Has taken a while to hit form but can open her account this time. FIABESCA (11) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Gawler but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over 6½f at Balaklava. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MERCHANT OF GREECE (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Bordertown, beaten 1.4 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. HEAT OF THE NIGHT (7) is a four-year-old mare who is having her first run for the Emma Hubbard yard. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Warrnambool five months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Can run a bold race.
