EKANITE (1) was beaten for early speed on debut last start but hit the line nicely to get up for third over 7¼f at Geelong. Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. JAMESJOHNO (2) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6½f at Bendigo, beaten only a long neck after being prominent at the corner. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. PLENTY OF GRUNT (4) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths over 6f at Swan Hill. Has ability and must be respected. TOPMOST (5) made it five minor placings in a row last start when second over 1m at Ballarat. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
