ALFIE'S PRINCESS (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at The Gardens behind Tarawi Malibu (29.92) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Capable of going well again. DASHING FOR GOLD (7) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 3.5 lengths third at Richmond over 520m in 30.03. Can feature again. PAPA GUISEPPE (6) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Richmond over 320m behind Midnight Smoke (19.04) in a Grade 5. Key player if finds best. CURMUDGEON (1) looks an each-way chance.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (30.80) over 515m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.
