Lady Potato Head should find the front with Diamanda and Brung King on her heels. SKETCH (9) looks very well placed in the final event. Going through her form- she started $2.20 (3rd) behind subsequent G1 VRC Oaks winner Strictly Business three back, then broke her maiden nicely at Caulfield Heath over 1600m. She was tested in the Listed Twilight Glow Stakes last time at Caulfield and wasn't beaten far carrying 56kg and now drops to just 52.5kg after the claim in a BM70, albeit against the older horses and males. This looks ideal placement and she rates well. MACEDON ROSE (5) can be forgiven on the wet ground at Pakenham last time which was heavier than advertised. She was a $3 chance there off a good win prior and can bounce back. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (6) continues to race well, finding the line for third at Caulfield Heath last time. Big each-way chance again. BLAZING HARRY (1) is going well behind some handy ones and he's well suited this grade. RUSSIAN FRONT (8) is racing well and a minor hope again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sketch to win.

DIAMANDA
MICHAEL BINNEY 9YO BAY MARE 54.0KG M T & Mrs M Binney At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Balnarring Pic-Trpy December 6 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Little Richie Turf carrying 69.5kg at $3.70.
