NICABUK (4) will find this a little easier than his third on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 7f at Ballarat. Likely improver so he will prove tough to beat. LITTLE SANDY (9) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Mt Gambier over 6f, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. SNOW ON HER (11) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when second over 6f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Capable of testing this field. FINAL BOY (3) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at Swan Hill over 6f, beaten 6 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
