FIVE EYES ONMICHEL (9) got home by 4.5 lengths last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and seven placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. LADY PATRICK'S (3) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 10 lengths away in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on October 31 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Reunites with jockey Jonathan Ocasio who knows her well, including two wins while aboard. Among the leading chances. DRINK DEEPLY (6) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. SMOOTH CLARET (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
