SMASHING RUBY (7) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when sixth over 6f at this track. Ready to find best form again. ALPINOVA (5) wound up strongly last time out to finish half a length adrift in second over 6f at Casterton. Can measure up. ROCKCLIFF (14) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths into fourth. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MASTER OF CHANT (4) was beaten 6 lengths into seventh in a 5f contest at Pakenham Synthetic last time out. The engagement of Rose Hammond is a positive move. Capable of featuring prominently.
