PARTY IT DOWN (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Canberra. Can open winning account this time. HARD KNOCK LIFE (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 1400m at Kembla Grange following a minor placing at Moruya over 1200m the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. EXTREMELY EXCITING (8) is a five-start maiden who finished tenth at her most recent appearance over 1200m at Wagga. Expected to feature in the finish this time. STORMY MALICE (10) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1000m at Goulburn. Leading prospect on best form.
