BAYOU MUSIC (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at Mornington, finishing second and beaten half a length. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. BELLA PIETRA (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Donald over 1200m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. CAELIUS (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Should be competitive. MOTHERDUCK (8) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 5 lengths when sixth in a 1200m contest at Mornington two-and-a-half weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance.
