BE A CHARACTER (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (29.32) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. DR. SPOKES (6) has shown some speed at his last couple and filled minor placings, last time finishing second beaten 5.5 lengths (25.01). Overdue and gets his chance. MIDNIGHT SHIMMER (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 1.75 lengths (19.82) at Healesville. Great chance to atone. LONG WAY HOME (2) was in the money last start at a short quote - likely to feature again.
