HARPER SMIRCH (7) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 300m behind Bluey Brann (17.68) in a Grade 4. The form out of his last race has been franked. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. PRINCESS GEMMA (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (17.37). One of the main contenders. SUNSET BUCKLES (2) overcame a collision to score an effortless Grade 6 win at this track over 300m latest, winning by 2.25 lengths (17.46). This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ASTON ZAGREB (3) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Won two starts back over 300m at this track. Last start she finished 4th in a Grade 5 on October 23 over 300m at this track behind Zatara's Image beaten 5 lengths (17.37). Draw likely to suit. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 17.34, beating Negroni. Last start finished 4th over 300m at this track beaten 7 lengths (17.38) behind Go Gettem Croker in a Grade 4/5 on October 9. Tempted to look elsewhere.
