MEXICAN FIDDLER (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Mornington, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. PORTUGUESE PARROT (3) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at his latest appearance over 6½f at Bendigo after he gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. CHARMING ASSASSIN (1) is backing up seven days after finishing third over 5f at Healesville. Strong run last time and a bold showing is likely. WINDY WHEELS (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5.5 lengths away in eighth over 7f at Gatton. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
