Defending, Searchin' Times and Streamlined can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. SEARCHIN' TIMES (9) is a very progressive filly on the way up, rounding up her rivals from last in very impressive fashion. Tougher here, but she looks right up to this grade and 1500m won't be an issue. Right down in the weights here and there's no reason why she can't extend her winning run. QUEEN ARIA (5) gets back out to a more suitable trip today after flying home from the back her past couple. She's likely to be back again from the draw, but the 1500m journey is a big tick. She rates highly on her recent efforts and with the scope for improvement now, it makes her an attractive commodity. DEFENDING (1) was too good in easier company last start when winning by a head. Nottle's claim comes in handy and if he runs up to recent form, she'll be hard to hold out. MACCIATEAU (3) looks a big improver third-up and with both runs this campaign being strong form references. CHOUX SHOE (7) is not out of this on her best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Searchin' Times can continue her winning ways.
