RARE ORO (10) was safely held when fourth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4. 5 lengths. That followed a win at Hobart at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ESPRIT DIVA (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1. 75 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at hobart five-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. CREATIVE LICENCE (12) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 3 when beaten 4 lengths into sixth at this track over 7f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. NAVAL ANTHEM (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 5f at Hobart. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
