ALBANIAN STAR (5) ran below expectations last time at Donald, finishing 11th and beaten 7 lengths starting at 13/8. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHAL EXCEED (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth in a 7f contest at Warrnambool two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. JAYZEAL (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Wangaratta, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m when he worked home well. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. RIVERINA LIGHTNING (10) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1m at Wagga, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at Deniliquin at the previous outing. In contention this time.
