TILLMAN (8) finds it hard to win with six victories from 85 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 7f at Goulburn, beaten one length. Pierre Boudvillain gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SHYAMALAN (1) is racing well. Scored at Orange in a then finished third, beaten 1. 2 lengths, over 6f at Sapphire Coast at the latest appearance eight days ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. MISSILE DEFENCE (3) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a head into second over 7f at Goulburn. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be picking them up late. VIA VARALLO (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 25 when beaten 7 lengths into seventh at Canberra over 1m after being in the firing line on the bend. Going up a level this time but he deserves another chance.
