THIN RED LINE (9) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into eighth after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. TARN'S PRINCE (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1m at this track. Will strip fitter and is among the main hopes. SMOKIN' GIANT (6) produced a reasonable effort to finish 2 lengths away in fourth last start over 1m1f at Caulfield. That followed a win on debut at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning ways. WANDA'S OUTLAW (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in third over 1m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.
