MURGASTY (8) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Sandown-Hillside over 1m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Progressive type who can play a role. UTAH (16) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. DHARAM SHALAA (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Bendigo over 1m3f, beaten half a length. Blinkers are removed. Among the leading chances. HARD BOB (3) finished 7 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1m1/2f at Geelong on March 15. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
