MISS TRENTINO (7) was in the market when resuming but could only manage fifth over 5½f at this track last start. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and looks a top chance. SHALAA GOLD (10) filled a minor placing when fresh from a lay-off two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 4 lengths away in eighth over 5½f at this track. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. MELANITE (5) broke through for a deserved win last time at Randwick after filling a minor placing at the first two starts this campaign. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will give backers a great sight. ACTION KING (2) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a second at Eagle Farm two starts back then landed the prize by 2. 25 lengths as public elect last time out over 5f87yards at Canberra Acton. Likely to be in the finish again.
