Surface: T
TAKEKO (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a long neck from the winner in second over 6f at Mornington after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. ZADAR SUNSET (9) saluted at Yarra Valley two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 6f at Mornington, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. THEYCALLMEBRUCE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Geelong over 7f. Has the class to take this out. MERRIGOLD (1) scored last start at Geelong to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Takes on a tougher assignment but must be respected.
