DANTOOINE (4) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 6½f here last time. Watch for him to be charging home again. WALKINASTRAITLINE (3) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to make an impact when 12th over 7f at Pakenham. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. EXPEETEE (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 6f at Benalla. Will be better for that latest run and she is a major player again. IMPENDING SHADOW (7) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing ninth over 6¾f at Donald most recently. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.
