FINAL CRUSADE (2) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 5f at Eagle Farm. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. BRAVE ETOILE (11) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 5f at Eagle Farm, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so she will be hard to beat. ESPERANZA (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Eagle Farm over 5f, beaten one length. Cherry-ripe now. Will find this easier than last start. Capable of testing this field. BETTER BLITZEM (1) scored last start at Townsville to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
