PARDON MY FRENCH (4) could only manage fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten only a neck after being in contention on the turn. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. SNICK (12) raced below her best last time when sixth over 1200m at Moonee Valley, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. GROUSE MOUNTAIN (5) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 2 lengths last start over this course and distance. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including two wins. Capable of a big run. BLACKBERRY BOMB (1) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 0.8 lengths last start over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
