IMPERIOUS SOUL (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. DABZAR (9) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. GRAN EXPECTATIVA (2) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. AMIGUITA PEPI (12) fought on for third last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 8 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
