CLASSIC BALLAD (6) did a great job to score by 9 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to cope. TORTUGA ISLAND (2) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1646m here last time. Will drift back but is going to be hard to hold out. UTOPIA ROSE (4) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to make an impact when sixth over 1646m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CROSSATI (1) finished third over 1646m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Don't underestimate.
