IMPENDING SHADOW (10) got well back over 7f at Caulfield last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 8 lengths away in eighth. Worth noting Rose Hammond goes aboard. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. NEW KINGDOM (9) turned in an encouraging run when resuming, settling well back then winding up nicely to finish fifth over 6f27yards at Geelong. Was outdashed but got going late and the longer journey looks ideal. Hard to hold out. MISS TRUSTFUL (14) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by a long neck over 7½f at Ballarat last start. Among the main chances. ENTRUSTING (2) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 7f at this track. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
