Too Darn Lovely, Small Town and Kantishna to match motors but there will be other pressure. BRIGHELLA (9) resumes and now in the Ray Hartley yard. Only the one win from seven starts in Victoria. Capable of sprinting well fresh after disappointing last time in. Placed at Sandown over this trip four runs back. Look for him late. KANTISHNA (7) smart filly going nicely through her grades. Comes out of a strong race after finishing a close up sixth over this trip at Muswellbrook. Kept ticking over with a 900m trial and looks hard to stop. TOTOKA (3) raced with distinction in town last time in and expected to sprint well fresh first up. Given the one 820m trial and can make her presence felt. PEARLS TREASURE (8) outclassed last time out when ninth over 1000m at Wyong in BM64 grade. Assess on earlier runs and the booking of Aaron Bullock is a positive move. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,7,3,8.
