BE A SHADOW (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten half a length (19.56) behind Zinzan Plodder at this track. Must come into calculations. BRUREE LUCK (6) finished well back at this track last time when a 3.5 lengths seventh (19.76) but scored three back at this track (17.06). Has ability and can atone. LEONESSA (5) missed the frame latest when eighth at Bendigo (25.09) but scored four back at Shepparton (22.62). Great chance to atone. ASTON WASHINGTON (7) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 300m in 17.17. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 435m at Sale at Grade 4/5 level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
