NUMA (7) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and seven minor placings. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MARK ROHTKO (6) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. LARUSSO (5) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.3 lengths into third over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Winning claims on best figures. FAST ANA (2) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten by a head. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with solid prospects. ROCCO GOLD (3) is fresh from a spell of nine months and is not out of this.
