BRILLIANT EIGHT (1) returned from a lay-off eight days ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 5f at Bendigo. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. LUDO (4) was solidly backed last time out but failed to fire and finished fifth over 6½f at Penola, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will find this a little tougher but should be in the finish. EXCELAOT (2) has filled a minor placing on two occasions in six starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fifth over 5¼f at Kingscote. Goes well at this journey with two minor placings to his credit. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be competitive. NIGHTYNIGHT (8) is on debut. By Rebel Raider and hails from the Kevin McCartin stable. Trialling in good style and looks forward enough. Top-three chance.
