BARBIE NEW (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1600m. Likely improver with strong prospects. EARTH LINK (7) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track over 1800m. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. EXISTING (2) just missed last start when second over 1800m at this track. Good chance to break through. BAMBINA EQUAL (8) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 18 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
