SIR PANAMA (6) was a barnstorming winner here two back. Not as effective last start but still closed nicely late to make some inroads. Not as tough this time. Leading player. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM (9) knuckled down gamely to fend off all challengers last start. Full of confidence now and keep it going on the short turnaround. PRANCING COUNTESS (14) was much better second-up despite not placing. Strips fitter and gets in low at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged but will need some luck from the draw. APPLIED (10) warmed to his task nicely over the concluding stages when resuming here three weeks ago. Fitter and will appreciate the added trip. Gets his chance to break a long run of outs. FIZIQUE (4) and DIVINE FIRE (7) will be doing their best work late and are worth keeping safe.
