AUSPIRIT (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1m2f at Mornington, beaten 4 lengths into eighth. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to take this out. WALK IN THE WOODS (9) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1m3f at Donald. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. FREEDOM ESCAPE (1) made late ground and finished second last time over 1m1/2f at Geelong, beaten half a length. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALA MOANA (11) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m2f at Caulfield, beaten 5.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
