SHOTARO (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Warracknabeal over 1m2f, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Will find this a little tougher but a bold showing is expected. RAINEY (9) stepped out on her debut over 1m at Ballarat four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. EXPLAIN (7) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 5. 5 lengths when seventh in a 1m2f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. EGYPTIAN LEGEND (11) finished 3 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1m2f at this track on March 31. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
