DOUBLET (2) returned from a break of seven months with a solid third last start at this track over 7f after he got a long way back in the run. In the money at each of his runs over this longer journey. The one to beat. HIT SQUAD (4) is yet to break through after five career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 7f at this track following a minor placing at this track over 1m the run prior. Among the leading chances. VESPASIAN (7) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1m1/2f at Geelong after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RISING NINE TOP (9) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
