PLATINUM DIVA (6) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. SHANGHAI BARBIE (2) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. S R Amador gets the best out of this 10-year-old mare. Beautifully placed and is sure to bounce back to form. ROSES R BLUE (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 4 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to take this out. THIRSTY NIC (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in fifth over 1207m at this track. No surprise to see her in the frame.
