CIAO BABE (1) put the writing on the wall when she finished third from this barrier in a higher-graded race last start, beaten 5.5 metres at Gloucester Park. Should enjoy an economical run and will be hitting peak fitness now so can break through. HEAVENLY BLISS (3) came from the second line for fourth at her latest appearance at Albany, beaten 5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw and usually races well at this distance. CRACKA TINNY (2) draws well and is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, coming from the back row for third at Gloucester Park. GALVINSTON JOHN (8) has been out of the money at his last couple but recorded a series of wins or placings prior so is worth another chance.
