COLOGNE (2) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1411m at Sale. Big chance based on that effort. PRINCESS MESS (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1300m at Cranbourne. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. ALESUND (1) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1112m at Sale after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the ability to produce another positive result. MOTORING SPIRIT (11) turned in another moderate effort last start when 14 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1500m at Caulfield Heath. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
