MASTER OF CHANT (1) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 6f at Cranbourne. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. ZAKU (15) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside, finishing fourth and beaten 1.3 lengths at 80/1. Likely to run well again. DO I (5) lifted strongly only to just miss when when resuming last start over 7f at Wangaratta. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DIOS (14) accounted for a maiden field over 7f58yards at Kyneton last start, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Teodore Nugent was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Harder this time but still one to consider.
