VERHOEVEN (5) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 6f at Geelong. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MAUNA KEA MISS (8) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside following a minor placing at Cranbourne over 6f the run prior. Among the leading chances. FEARLESS MONARCH (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.2 lengths adrift in third over 6f at this track when coming back from a lay-off. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. TOYZ IN ZOULAND (14) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Bendigo, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
