VIOLET HANOVER (4) returns after showing promise at her maiden campaign, winning twice and finishing midfield in a G2 at Menangle when last seen in September. Likely to have developed further with maturity and should be ready to go off a win in a city trial. HARLEEQUIN (7) came from this draw for a 6m win here two back then tackled some good fillies when midfield in a NSW Oaks heat last start at Menangle. This suits. JUS BLING IT (3) tends to do her best work here, winning from the back row last week. Must respect from a favourable draw. LOUMIA (2) delivered a maiden win as a hot favourite here last week and another good draw gives her the chance to take the next step.
