KADDARI (9) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at Seymour after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FORT OF DREAMS (4) has been in the placings at his last two, most recently when third over 6½f at Seymour at his third run back from a break. Logan Bates stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expecting a bold showing. SHOTARO (6) is a nicely bred three-year-old gelding on debut. By Admire Mars from Mardi who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. At his most recent trial was out of the placings at Cranbourne. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite an awkward gate. COMMANDEUR (3) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 3. 5 lengths, after being in contention on the corner at his latest appearance over 7f at Pakenham. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
