ABENDER (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at Doomben after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the ability to produce another positive result. BRUTAL ADVANCE (1) was beaten just a head last start when fresh from a lay-off and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Sunshine Coast over 5f. Looks close to a win. NORTHERN EAGLE (6) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f87yards at Orange when he finished second. This is his first run for the Chris & Corey Munce stable. Can measure up for the new barn. VIVID ENCOUNTER (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5f at Sunshine Coast, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Improver worth including.
