EIGHT ROSE'S (4) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 8 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. BASHFULLY (2) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished eighth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf), beaten 16 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. STARSHIP COUGAR (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1006m, beaten 6 lengths. Worth following up. STARSHIP STELLA (7) is on debut. By Jackie's Warrior and is out of the Jose Francisco D'angelo stable. Top-three chance.
