NETO (15) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside, finishing 4 lengths back in seventh. Has the class to return to form. SHOOTING FOR STARS (13) is a distance specialist who bounced back last start and landed the prize by a nose after being in contention on the bend as public elect over 5f190yards at Albury. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. KUMICHO (6) started at 15/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 2.75 lengths at Bendigo over 5½f. Likely improver with strong prospects. BARN ZEE (8) resumed over 5½f at Wodonga last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is among the better chances.
