HARDLY FORTUNATE (7) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a head, over 1000m at this track on debut. Should be winding up late again. AL FLORES (5) finished second, beaten 0.9 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Goulburn after she was in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. TESSARION (14) will find this a little easier than her third on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so another top-three finish is on the cards. TIPPYTAY (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5 lengths away in fifth over 1100m at Goulburn. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
