GORBACHEV (6) has been in sparkling form, scoring three wins on end only to miss the frame last time over 6½f at Gold Coast. Back to the scene of his victory two runs back. Facing a tougher assignment but he should run well. HERMANITA (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 6f at Ipswich. Expected to be in this for a long way. SULTRY SIREN (11) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 1. 4 lengths, over 6f at this track after she got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. TREPORTI (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7f at Eagle Farm. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
