DEZIGNATION (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m2 1/2f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Nicely placed to take this out. PHAROAH'S CRYSTAL (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m2 1/2f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the turn. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to be right there at the finish. CONVERT (6) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m at Kembla Grange. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. BABYFACED ASSASSIN (4) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth over 1m2f at Canberra last time out after being in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them.
