ATTABOOM (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 5f at this track after being prominent from the outset. Should be prominent from the low draw. Nicely placed to find winning ways. WHITSON (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. WESTERN CONQUEROR (8) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 6f at Pakenham. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. HOLLER POINT (3) returns from a lay-off of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Wodonga over 5½f when when resuming last time in work.
