STARLEA (12) ran a better race last start at Sandown-Hillside over 1000m and comes under notice now. Takes on the boys but gets in with 54kg after the claim and finds a winnable race here. RIVER NOIRE (8) is the big watch. Three runs in her debut campaign were all excellent, winning two and running second here over 1200m to a smart one as the only 'miss'. With natural progression she'll go awfully close. SQUIZZY MIZZY (7) can mix her form a bit but her best is certainly good enough. Two runs back from a spell have been fair but she's ready to peak now and should be in this a long way. NICCOLITE (9) is in good form at the moment, placing in a better race at Caulfield two back before another solid effort at Sandown-Hillside last time. Doesn't win out of turn but should be thereabouts again.
