LAKETOWN ELLY (5) was when resuming from a lay-off last start and saluted by 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Likely to feature. PERFECT DATE (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when she was handy all the way. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MIDNIGHT GODDESS (2) finished 4. 5 lengths back in third over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win when resuming from a lay-off two runs back. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. DUNN'S RIVER (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in seventh over 6f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
