CANNY DEFENSE (13) finished one length away in second last time out at Albury. On a seven-day back-up. Good effort last start and is worth following up. OIMBARI (15) turned in a good performance last time over 5f196yards at Gundagai, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth. The extra journey should play into her hands. Can win this without surprising. RUSHFORD (3) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fourth over 6½f at Wangaratta. Can improve sharply. HIGHLAND BEAUTY (14) was beaten 11 lengths into sixth over 6½f at Geelong at her latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
