XERCES (1) went forward last start over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) and held on well for third, beaten a neck. Tackling a more suitable race so she is a major player. ONE VIOLENT AFFAIR (5) started at $7.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 21 lengths at this track (Synthetic) over 1609m. Has the talent to find the winners' list. LA PANDA (6) finished a 6 length sixth when resuming last start over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has been in the money at each second up start. Ready to find peak form this time. UPPITY UP (3) resumed over 1609m at this track (Synthetic) last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and cannot be ruled out.
