MODOWN (4) turned in a strong run last time at the first run of the prep when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a nose into second over 6f at Pakenham. Well placed to feature again. CLAVADATSCH (8) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a seventh at Pakenham two starts back then scored by 4.5 lengths last time out after being in contention on the turn over 6½f at Bendigo. Taking on a better field but she is worth serious consideration. WALKINASTRAITLINE (10) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 7f at Pakenham last start, scoring by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Damian Lane who was on board last start. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated. NAVY KING (2) finished 5.5 lengths behind the winner in tenth over 6f in the Inglis Sprint at Flemington last start after lifting strongly to score in a. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
