KENTAHTEN (1) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing fourth at Moonee Valley and beaten 3.5 lengths. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Well placed and sure to run well. CONTROVERSIAL MISS (6) is a distance specialist who ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 7f at Tumbarumba after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. AOIFE (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fifth in a 7f contest at Benalla four weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SPARKLING BLUE (7) finished second last time over 6f at Kyneton when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2 lengths. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
