HOLY FLASH (4) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a head from the winner in second over 1400m at Sunshine Coast after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. QUEST OF QUESTS (9) registered a strong win at Warwick two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 1540m at Gold Coast Poly, beaten 2 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MANHATTAN DRESS (14) got off the mark over 1400m at Ballina last start, scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Noriyuki Masuda who was on board last start. This is tougher but she cannot be underestimated. ALLHALLOWTIDE (2) has been well held at his last couple, the latest in city grade when ninth at Doomben. Easier assignment this time and should do much better.
