TACTFULL (13) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Yarra Valley over 1m1 3/4f, beaten 1. 2 lengths. Ready to win. OLNEY (10) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a neck from the winner in second over 1m1f at Kerang after being in contention on the corner. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. FIERY DEAL (11) hit the frame two starts ago at Kyneton but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 3. 5 lengths over 1m2f at Seymour. Has the class to return to form. CLINGER (3) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 1. 1 lengths, over 7f124yards at Yarra Valley. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to make a big impact.
