ELITE MISS (4) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has the class to score again. SPATULA (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in second over 905m at this track (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. SWEET MANHATTAN (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 19 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1308m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. PALPITATIONS (1) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 905m at this track, beaten 11 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and can make amends.
