Not much early pressure but The Alpina Penguin, She's Astunnerarch and Jezebel Jenni can take up forward spots. SHE'S ASTUNNERARCH (12) settled midfield following an awkward start then found the line well to be beaten just over a length on debut at a similar trip to this at Kilmore. Has a tricky gate to deal with but with even luck and some natural improvement she looks the testing material. JEZEBEL JENNI (9) worked home steadily without threatening when fresh from a 250-day spell over this distance at Pakenham last time out. Lightly raced filly who will improve off that run and draws in a lot closer. THE ALPINA PENGUIN (13) raced handy and refused to lie down when a close fourth on debut over 1300m at this track recently. Likely improver who can win this without surprising. SAKER FALCON (5) has had a lot of chances but is very fit and worth considering on a quick back-up. JUST SWIFT (10) produced an eye-catcher first-up at Pakenham. Will get back again but watch for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on She's Astunnerarch.
