THE THREE HUNDRED (7) started in the red when resuming last start over this distance at Hawkesbury but got a mile back due to early interference before rattling home for a close third. Will tighten right up following that run and with even luck can feature in the finish. CALIFORNIA BAY (1) raced handy and had his chance but found one better on debut last time out over 1300m at the Kensington track. Will prove tough to hold off with a little natural improvement to come. ESPINHO (2) resumed with a tidy third behind the smart Mergeila over 1250m at Canterbury a fortnight ago. Talented colt who will improve off that outing. EXTREME DIVA (11) gets in nicely under today's scale and is very fit after three runs back. MONTE VEEBEE (5) wasn't disgraced in the Group 3 Ming Dynasty last start. Serious chance in this company.
