LAKETOWN ELLY (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DUNN'S RIVER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. QUEEN KITTY (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MANDOLIN BREEZE (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). One of the main contenders.
