SHINBONER (8) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 5½f at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 5 lengths. Finds a nice race and can make amends. ALABAMA ELEGANCE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Narrogin, beaten 2. 75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but with added fitness she is one of the key runners. DAINTY ROSE (3) was rewarded with her maiden success last start, scoring by 0. 8 lengths over 6f at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely drawn and she is worth including. MISS WEENI (5) was too good for a maiden field last start over 6f at this track, scoring by a head. This is tougher but she is capable of another big run.
