LACEWING has marked improvement in her 2 starts beyond 1200m and finished a close-up 2nd over 1600m late last season. She is open to further progress but need only repeat her latest performance to shed her maiden tag. Well-bred SILVER PARASOL has 2.25 lengths to find on that rival but has to be included in Exacta, Trifecta and Quartet bets. MESSALINA was a game-in-defeat 2nd over 1450m in her latest outing and will again be hard to peg back if allowed her own way at the head of affairs. KURAMATHI is one to keep an eye on, as this longer distance should unlock improvement.
