PONTE ARCOBALENO (3) made it four minor placings in a row last start when second over 6½f at Bendigo. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. MANDRAKI (12) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 6½f at Cranbourne. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. HOT STEPPING HIPPY (6) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Seymour over 6f, beaten 6 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. SARAYA (8) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until they straightened, eventually finishing fifth and beaten 3. 5 lengths over 7f at Horsham. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and must be respected.
