MRS MANICOTTI (3) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1106m here last time. Better than the last run and will take running down. GARNET AND GOLD (1) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the turn before finishing second over 1207m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. Has started five times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. QUEEN ANNA T (5) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0.6 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SUGAR TREAT (6) scored last start at this track (Synthetic) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Not to be discounted.
