SHOTGUN SALLY (8) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. CURLIN ROSE (4) finished 9 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1006m at this track after being in contention on the bend two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be tough to stop. BIRCHDALE (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. R J CODE (2) showed little early speed last start then came with a powerful run to finish third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
