THUNDER HAWK (6) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1300m at Cranbourne. Looks well placed and she is a leading contender. CINQUE PONTE (11) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1736m at Sale last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at this track the run before. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth another chance. MISLEAD (3) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. LITTLEBIRDIE (12) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at Cranbourne, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
