JUST FOR SHOW (4) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6½f at Swan Hill. Can make a winning return. LITTLE BIGHORN (6) could only manage ninth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Bairnsdale, beaten 0.7 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. REGAL LOVER (9) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 7f21yards at Flemington. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. COVERED IN CASH (2) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths, over 5½f at Tatura. Open to plenty of improvement.
