SWEET IRISH LOCH (4) ended her juvenile season by tackling the good fillies, last seen when midfield from a tough draw in the Breeders Crown Final in December. Two recent trial wins suggest she is back in good order so can make a winning return. HAPPILY (6) was checked and broke last start but was good in her other two starts this time in, scoring a fresh win at Goulburn before a second from a similar barrier to this at Hamilton. Building a good record at this distance. Worth another chance. ZOOM ZOOM BOOM (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Kilmore. Draws for a trail and should be close to peak fitness third up. The ace draw can see improvement from AMERICAN VICTORY (1).
