CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Caulfield Heath over 5f. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HEINOUS (6) was well held in the SA Sires' Produce Stakes won by Colmar over 7f at Morphettville Parks at her last appearance ten months ago. Can play a big role in this company. GRAND INTENTION (8) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5½f at Ballarat, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Blake Shinn who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. EXPRESS YO'SELF (7) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 5f at Pakenham, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
