PUGLIA (9) returned last time with a solid third at Sandown-Hillside over 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is one of the primary contenders. MISS PLAYLOUNGE (7) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was never in contention last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 1600m at Caulfield. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KADDARI (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZAEEMAH (12) finished second last time over 1400m at Ballarat when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
