PAHI LASS (6) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5.5 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1m at Seymour four weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Will find this a little easier than last time. Should be in the finish. DARK LEGACY (7) hadn't been far away prior to finishing 6 lengths adrift in sixth last start over 1m2f at Wangaratta. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. THE YACHTSMAN (5) was always well out of his ground when 10 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m at Kilmore last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Geelong the run before. Has the class to take care of this field. HEM Set Weights ORTH (1) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m2f at Wangaratta, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
