HOTZEL (9) has had three starts to date, resuming over 6f at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths. She has good early dash so the drop back to 5½f should suit nicely and second time last time in she was close up behind a handy type. CELESTIAL HARBOUR (11) resumes. She was in strong form last time in having never finished worse than fourth. Looks well placed in this and should prove hard to beat. ROYAL INVADER (10) ran on well resumed at Echuca over 5f and looks suited up in trip with fitness on her side. RICH LOVER (8) can improve down in grade.
