OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS has taken a few runs to find her feet for Venetia Williams but there were more encouraging signs last time and she's taken to build on that promise back in a handicap. Out of Focus has been placed in both handicaps and should be thereabouts, while Olly Murphy's Borodale retains potential as an unexposed sort.
