SWEET MARLENE (15) produced a good effort last start when third over 1000m at Tuncurry to make it three minor placings from six runs this preparation. Overdue and gets her chance. RAINBOW LASS (12) drifted back last time but wound up nicely to finish just a head away in second over 1000m at Ballina. Drawn out but shapes as a leading contender. CLUSTER'S GENERAL (1) was in the money two starts back at Port Macquarie but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1115m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KIRRA'S SISTER (8) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1000m at Ballina. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
