HELLUVA GODDESS (3) scored at this track last time out with one length to spare over this journey. Top chance. DESERT DANCING (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 7f at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role. DEFINE BEAUTIFUL (5) finished fourth last start over 6f at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. ON PATROL (2) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 6f at Pinjarra to launch the last campaign. Can make his presence felt.
