A THOUSAND DEGREES (10) settled well back last start and never threatened when 10 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. OUR GODDESS (8) tackled a dirt track for the first time last over today's course and distance, finishing half a length from the winner in fourth. Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. EASTSIDE DIAMOND (5) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start when successful over 1200m at this track, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Among the leading chances again. BROADWAY LANE (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1050m at Balaklava. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
