DITA VON (12) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1200m, beaten half a length. Should be at her peak now. Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from three starts. Leading contender. PARTY IT DOWN (14) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Canberra. Can open winning account this time. IN THE NIC OF TIME (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Drawn well close to the inside so another top-three finish is on the cards. GROUP CHAT (8) ended up 6 lengths behind the winner in fifth on debut last start over 1000m at Albury. Plenty of scope for improvement. Can improve.
