STRETFORD END (3) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 7f at Ballarat. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DESARMER (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing 11 weeks ago, the only appearance of that campaign. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. WHITTEN (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. The engagement of Emma Lines is a positive move. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASSERTIN LADY (4) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 5½f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
