PEAR BELLINI (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to take this out. NATIONAL INTEREST (6) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 3 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1350m at Doomben two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Will find this easier than last start. Likely to feature. FOREVER FORTUNE (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1690m at Ipswich, beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. ZOUBLIME (11) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.5 lengths adrift in third over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes.
