PRO AUSSIE (4) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for third and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic. Well-placed and will take catching. DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY (1) finished 4.5 lengths away in 11th last time out over 7f at Sandown-Hillside after being in the firing line on the turn three weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. FLAG FLYER (5) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1m1/2f at Geelong, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PRESERVATOR (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1m at Cranbourne, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
