SPIETATA (4) is resuming from a lay-off of a year and having his first run for the Hanna Powell yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Cranbourne over 1m. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Kilmore trial. Sure to take some beating. ASK YOUR MOTHER (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Pakenham over 7f after being prominent from the outset. Backmarker who gets home hard. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BELLE FLAMME (11) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 7¼f at Kilmore after she got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. KOKONDA (6) was 3 lengths from the winner in seventh over 7f at Cranbourne last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Should be handy in the run. Can do better. Solid top-three hope.
