NINA VENUS (5) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RONDA TOUCH (1) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight she finished midfield. Should be poised just off the lead. Will play a major role. RISITA CAT (8) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten just 0.3 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated. SMASHY (4) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when fifth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
