PAPPIANA (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Parkes, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PENSATIVA (2) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1300m at Scone. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. FINGER BUN (7) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Quirindi, beaten 13 lengths into eighth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DIVINE BENE (5) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at Quirindi. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Should give backers a sight.
