No recognised leader lining up so expect a moderate tempo.
TURNING CIRCLE (5) returns after a seven-month lay-off. In the money at seven of her 14 runs, including two from three when fresh from a spell. Has a decent record at this trip so with any luck from the tricky gate she might have found the right race to finally open the account. FASHION SPREE (8) travelled worse than midfield then closed well to finish fourth when resuming over 1000m at Tuncurry last time out. Yet to find the frame in five starts but from gate one today she looks well placed to build on that decent first-up performance. PRATIBHA (11) was in commission but a shade disappointing on debut recently over this distance at Coffs Harbour. Worth another chance with the Lees stable popping on the blinkers. ON ANY TUESDAY (10) resumes. Widely travelled last prep and wasn't far away in her three runs. Recent trial winner who looks set for a positive return. CZECH HER OUT (6) gets blinkers for the first time and will find this easier than her last couple at the provincials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turning Circle is nicely placed to break the ice.
