SURFINGMAKESCENTS (2) added to a strong fresh record when she overcame a back row draw for a fighting win at this circuit. Up in distance but she also races well when second-up so can improve further and the good draw gives her every chance to take this next step. LE BELLE BIJOUX (1) has had trickier barriers at her last coupe but was beaten less than 3m by a good mare when she came from this barrier three back. This looks a suitable assignment. GHOST OF TIME (6) is a two-time second-up winner so should be improved and owns a good record at this longer distance. LOUIE LOU I (5) did a good job to come from the back row and finish second when resuming. Returns to the front line and races well second-up. FRUGAL FARE (9) broke last start but can feature with manners.

Last start 6th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 6 m by Yambukian (2:00.30) in No NR on July 12 at $34. Before that, 4th (Sr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 10 m by Rakajed (2:40.20) in NR 75 to 89 on July 5 at $8.50. This looks a nice assignment and is drawn to advantage.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr6) over 2240m at this track beaten 25 m by Rakajed (2:40.20) in NR 75 to 89 on July 5 at $3.60. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck (Sr5) at this track (2:00.80) beating Collective Works in NR 68 to 82 on May 31 at $6.50 at the bell was 9th-22.2m on the pegs. Could bounce back.
