Competitive. BUBBLE PALACE (5) was back on track placing at Cranbourne and then went back there and didn't finish it off. Finds easier grade grade and has been kept on the fresh side. Draws handier and fitter again should go close. TEQUILA STORM (8) has been within range all preparation including twice in town. Meech will have her on the pace and she gets another chance. SMART RETURN (9) won the Maiden here comfortably and is an improved galloper. Has a 4lbs claim and maps for the run of the race. She could take the next step without surprise. DEMON BLOOD (4) improved again winning the 58 at Seymour and he's also going well enough to feature.
