LOVE DRUNK BABY (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. FLOBA (6) resumed over 1100m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a head. Will be better for that latest run and another big run will not surprise. NATURAL GEM (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PEARLY NUGGETT (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.75 lengths back in fifth over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
