BARBIE NEW (1) finished a very close second last start over 1600m at this track to make it four minor placings in a row. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. VINE SOLA (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. SHARMINA (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness she is one of the key runners. GALA MAXIMA (2) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth in a 1600m contest at La Plata last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
