BOYD (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5f at Ballarat, finishing sixth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. WINTERY (12) finished just 0.7 lengths from the winner in third when returning from a layoff last start over 5f at Ballarat after racing on the pace. Has the class to take this out. STAR COMPASS (14) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Hamilton, beaten a nose. Ready to go one better. BLAZE AWAY (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at Seymour. Likely improver worth including.
