PHOENIX POWER (7) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing third over 1200m at Coffs Harbour when just 3 lengths from the winner. Nice alley and worth serious consideration. DENUTO (4) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Newcastle over 1250m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can improve sharply and may be worth following up. MISS MIDAS TOUCH (13) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1400m at Coffs Harbour, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. HUMID (12) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1350m at Doomben two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
