IL CIELO (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7½f at Ballarat, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TERRITORIAN (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 6½f at Balaklava. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. AFFAIRE VUE (6) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 6f at Murray Bridge when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a head. Meeting a deeper field this time but she cannot be ruled out. JEWELS CAPTAIN (3) worked home well and finished third last time over 6f at Murray Bridge when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
