PREDATOR'S CROWN (4) hasn't been beaten far in two runs back, the latest over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. TEARS OF THE SUN (2) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fifth over 1600m at Greyville last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. PEACH MELBA (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CELTIC MOON (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Greyville on August 7 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Hazel Green with 57kg at $2.70.
