MIRACLE BALL (3) has scored at her last five starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1106m at Canterbury Park (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with eight wins and three minor placings from 17 starts. Leading player again. SIPPING FIREWATER (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BEAUTIFLY TROUBL'D (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MY ANGEL MARIE (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 24 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
