PRAY TELL (3) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.5 lengths adrift in second over 1200m at Sandown on debut. It looks the right form, which will be tested earlier in the meeting with third placegetter Tagamate going around in the first. DE ASCOT (1) hasn't trialled as sharply as some from the Price/Kent stable, but they always need to be respected with first starters. SHOWS NO SHAME (7) finished third last time over 1100m at Bendigo when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. REPRESENTATIVE (6) is another debutant in great hands who showed something at her latest trial and she draws well. SHADES OF STARDOM (4) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Hamilton. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be taken lightly with extra fitness under the belt.

Second run back. First-up after five months settled back and ran on when 4th of 8 at Hamilton 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 1200m, in the wet; 10 len behind Queen Christine with 58kg at $5.50. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Miss Revealing with 58kg at $3.30. Look for a much better performance.
