FLORENCE GLASS (8) missed the frame last time out when sixth over 2100m in the LR Tasmanian Oaks at this track and beaten 7 lengths. Rates highly and looks a leading player. MERLIN BEACH (6) was having his first run for the Glenn Stevenson yard last start when he made steady ground to run into second over 1150m at Devonport Synthetic at the first run back from a spell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MANHATTAN NIGHTS (5) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1430m at Hobart, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. NOODITY (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
