NO FOOLING (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 5f at Pakenham after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. LAVANDULA (10) was successful last start over 5f at Seymour, getting home by 1. 75 lengths to make it three wins in a row. Winning rider Rhys McLeod retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BETWITCHERY (9) returns after a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Benalla when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has to be respected. IT'S A YES (7) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing sixth over 6f at Caulfield four-and-a-half months ago. Looks forward enough following a recent trial win. Will find this easier than last start. Not to be discounted.
