ARACHIDI (11) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on October 9 finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic. Has recorded two wins when when resuming from a break. Rates highly and should take some beating. STYLE AND GRACE (10) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a second last start over 6f at Moe after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to take this out. MIDIVANI (13) started at 8/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 5.5 lengths at Benalla over 7f after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SMART POPPY (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing ninth over 6½f at Wodonga. Expecting improvement.
