STRAAND BEAUTY (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Warwick Farm two starts back then got the job done by 0. 6 lengths last time out over 5f at Warwick Farm. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. DUROVA (2) scored by 1. 4 lengths when resuming last start at this track over 4½f after she was in contention on the turn. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from five starts. Likely to be in the finish. COLOURFUL EMPEROR (1) missed the frame when resuming last start over 5½f at Doomben but wasn't all that far from the winner. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. SARATOGA POWER (4) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 3. 5 lengths into fourth over 4½f at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
