SHE'S PRETTY RICH (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing sixth over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside last start. Meets easier opposition this time. Leading contender. SHOELESS (6) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 2 lengths into fifth over 6½f at Bendigo. Has never missed the frame second up. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MR MARRAKECH (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f at Cranbourne after he was prominent at the turn. First try at the trip but he strips fitter and is a key runner. THIN RED LINE (11) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1m at Pakenham on April 4. Sure to make his presence felt.
