GULIETA (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. TALK CHIVI (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths at $30.05. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and four placings from six starts and is among the leading chances. SIR BRAVE (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1400m at this track. Will strip fitter and can turn things around. REBIBI (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as public elect over 1200m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.
