KING BLING (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when seventh in a 5½f contest at this track two weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Danielle Hirini gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHECKTHEMENU (1) finished 5. 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. BEEP TEST (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 7 lengths back in fourth over 1m at this track. Among the chances. MATRON SAMSING (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 2. 75 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see her in the mix.
