Arachne might be able to get the front without any fuss here. Doesn't look like being strongly run. They should run along with Arachne likely leader, Delightful Cat and Our Sevira also handy. JOCASTA will appreciate coming back in grade after a couple of close up efforts in Saturday mares company of late. Well placed and sure to go close. HUSSY'S GLOW made a handy return at Wangaratta and her second-up form is sound. Fitter and look for her to be running on strongly. SCOLIARO was safely held when runner-up at Cranbourne but on a heavy 10. A bit better ground will suit and she's not to be left out. Divine Chills and Cleopatra's Glory are both open to improvement on their latest efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jocasta.
