METCALFE (6) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1350m at Ipswich when fresh from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will find this a little easier than last time. Will be hard to stop. PRETTY RHO (17) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1600m at Sunshine Coast Poly, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MOOTESSA (10) did a good job last start to finish third at this track over 1400m, beaten a long neck. Cherry-ripe now. Jade Metcalfe who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. AMENOPHIS (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who should be competitive.
