IFTIHAR (10) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when third over 7f at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. BELLA VERONA (8) is on debut for the Matt Laurie stable. Three-year-old filly by Castelvecchio from Simply Wonderful. Proved too good in a Mornington trial recently. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. PLAYFUL AS (11) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in the firing line on the bend, finishing 2. 25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at Kilmore. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. FOXSKY (3) was unplaced on debut then last start finished third over 7f at Sale. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
