KNUCKLE (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1m at Coleraine when he was handy all the way. Has the class to produce another positive result. SPIRITUAL THINKER (8) is a 18-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent outing over 7½f at Bendigo after she was well back on straightening. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. PHAROAHZANO (9) is still a maiden after four runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 6½f at Gunbower. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. WAGE RISE (10) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Coleraine, beaten 3 lengths into sixth after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to find the winners' list.
