NINA JOFI (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track five weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. BRIATICA (8) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1100m at this track. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Among the leading chances. PETRICOR STRIPES (6) got home by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Has a good record at this track with two wins and four minor placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. THE LAST MAD (10) could only manage fourth on dirt over 1100m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1200m at this track more recently. Better than recent runs indicate.
