SOFT LOVE (6) settled well back after a slow start then quickened impressively to win her third race from three starts over 1200m at Caulfield six weeks ago. Has trialled twice since to keep her up to the mark. Good enough to take this next step. THAMES (12) is racing well but a win this prep has been elusive. Did her best work late to grab second over 1200m at Mornington last time out. Back in trip but the bigger track suits her pattern. Looms as the main danger. WAVE BREAKER (10) raced wide but kept coming and just missed a first-up win over this distance at Warwick Farm recently. Group 3 placed behind Lady Of Camelot as a two-year-old. Has the class to play a big role. DUCK EGG BLUE (11) hasn't put in a poor run this prep. This is probably short of her best trip at this stage of the campaign but on a seven-day back-up she is worth a small investment at juicy odds. Last start Canterbury winner PHOTOGRAPH (5) will improve off that run and is in the mix.
