SMASH BLUE (11) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at Bendigo, beaten 2.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has the ability to produce another positive result. SNOWBALL (12) has been in the betting recently but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 5f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 2.5 lengths. Must respect recent market confidence so give her another chance. I WILL SHINE (3) had good support on debut but ran below expectations when eighth over 5½f at Bendigo. Expected to run much better this time. NORMANDY LASS (10) resumes from a lay-off of a year. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic. Placed in a recent trial. Has ability so don't underestimate.
