TALE OF LEMONBELLE (1) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last four starts, most recently scoring over 1106m at this track. Sure to measure up again. LITTLE BIT OF THAT (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 905m at Charles Town (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SHE'S SO SEXY (6) finished fourth at this track and distance at her last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. POUNDS IN TOWN (2) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, finishing 10 lengths from the winner. Credentials hard to knock.

The start before that ran second last in a small field at this track on August 10 over 1106m, 8 len behind High Summer carrying 50kg at $3.70. Great chance to win again.
