Expecting Light Filled to take up the running with Done Leavy and Runaway Love close at hand. SHE'S EXCESSIVE (10) debuts and has won 5/6 jumpouts and placed second in the other. She finds a suitable assignment, and the in-form Meech is a positive jockey booking. She'll get every chance. LIGHT FILLED (7) resumes and she led narrowly beaten here since last seen. She missed a whisker over this trip at Ballarat on debut and won a recent Ballarat jump-out. Has plenty of gate speed, and a bold return is on the cards. SMOKE SCREEN (11) led unexpectedly at Pakenham third-up, and it didn't suit. She has been beaten a whisker at Pakenham and Caulfield Heath prior over this trip and raced as the favourite in all. She comes back 100m and will take a sit today. ELSA OF ARENDELLE (5) settled well back at Pakenham first-up and closed off well beaten just 1.5L. She'd switched yards and is improved. Will have to do it the hard way again but keeps John Allen and that will assist. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Excessive looks progressive.
