GRAN TAITA (8) finished eighth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose over 900m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MERCENARIA (7) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1100m at this track last start. Has a high cruising speed. Will give a great sight. KOSANTA (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 19 lengths into sixth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SASUKE (11) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 1000m. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
