LOVING MANDY (11) debuted two-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished seventh over 5f at Moonee Valley, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. KING WALDO (4) debuted a month ago and was well supported when he finished fourth over 5f185yards at Wangaratta, beaten 1.2 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers on he makes considerable appeal. SANDRINE (8) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 5f at Ballarat. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. HARMONETT (10) stepped out on her debut over 5f at Pakenham a week-and-a-half ago and finished ninth, beaten 4 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
