Poshy's Girl and Habib Albi can be prominent. Good maiden. ROYAL BOTANIC (10) has been about the mark at all four runs to date, the latest over 1400m at Newcastle where she loomed to win but didn't quite finish it off. Best performance was three back when runner-up over today's journey at Newcastle under 1kg more. Finds the right race to grab a well-deserved win. POSHY'S GIRL (9) started $2.20 favourite and had every chance but found one better over this course and distance 18 days ago. Progressing nicely and with a touch more improvement she can take this out. SERIOUS JEWEL (11) raced handy then battled on just fairly for fourth recently over 1300m at Scone. Has only been to the races twice so this two-year-old has more to offer. AIRBURST (7) resumes. Switched to the Paul Snowden yard at the end of last prep and ran a nice second here at this distance. Should return in good order. COOL ZOUSAIN (3) has found the line well in his two runs to date and will enjoy the step up in distance today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Botanic just gets the nod.
