SUPERCILIOUS (2) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1100m at Flemington, beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. MERCURIAL LADY (6) is racing well, scoring two back at Ballarat Synthetic before finishing a long neck from the winner in third last time over 1200m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. XARPO (3) was a narrow winner last time over 1200m at this track with today's rider Ryan Houston aboard. Nice weight drop so she is one of the contenders again. ILLYIVY (4) finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a long neck. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
