AL DUCA (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 7f at Geelong, finishing second and beaten one length. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. NEWZOU (13) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6½f at Echuca after being prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. FLANAGAN (5) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at Geelong, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out. . Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten one length, at Ballarat over 7f. Looks a definite top-three candidate.
