ZARKANA (2) last appeared when she finished seventh over 1800m in the LR Tokyo City Cup at Morphettville on November 5. Should be hard to stop. SHARENDIPITY (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a sixth at Morphettville Parks two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1050m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. BELLENTIA (9) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1100m contest at Clare by a head. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Key contender. SMASHING ACTION (10) accounted for a maiden field over 1100m at Naracoorte last start when fresh from a break. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Margaret Collett was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
