HELLS SON (5) finished fourth last time out over 7f at Benalla, beaten 3.5 lengths. Ideally placed to score. STUBBYHOLLER (2) returns after a lay-off of four months. Looking to emulate his win at Wangaratta when returning from a lay-off last prep. Rates highly and should take some beating. MENTALIA (3) scored two starts ago at Cootamundra then struggled against stiffer opposition last time when tenth over 7f43yards at Caulfield, beaten 8 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement. BOLD CHERIE (12) was in the money two starts back at Tumut but couldn't back it up last time when tenth, beaten 6 lengths, at Benalla over 7f. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
