MARIA SOFIA (4) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fifth over 1408m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. KARAT GOLD (6) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1408m at this track when she was handy all the way. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WHITEMUDWEST (7) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1408m in stakes class at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. GLINT OVER ESSA (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Has ability and worth including.
