SMUDGE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRINCESS ANASTASIA (7) broke through for her maiden win over 7f at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. SULTANA (8) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1m1/2f at this track six weeks ago. Sure to make her presence felt again. SHADE OF PALE (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in fifth over 1m1/2f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
