MARIA LOUISE (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1609m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. GOLDEN IRISH (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). First try at the trip but she strips fitter and is expected to do much better. BOW DRAW (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. TRUSTY TROUTMAN (6) returned from a spell five weeks ago when she was beaten 12 lengths into seventh over 1308m at Ellis Park. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
