SHEZ STEAMIN' (9) saluted at Woolamai two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 1m1/2f at Woolamai, beaten 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. UNDERSTATED (7) proved too strong two runs ago at Mansfield. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1m at Werribee, beaten 5 lengths. L Taylor is a key engagement. Has the class to take care of this field. PINE VALLEY (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1m1/4f at Healesville as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Can feature again. GRATE CRACK (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Woolamai, beaten 8 lengths into eighth. Capable of featuring prominently.
