LAKE VOSTOK (6) produced a good effort last start when third over 1m at this track to make it two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Rates highly and expected to run well again. EISHAA (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m2 1/4f at Moonee Valley after being prominent from the outset. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. STARSPANGLED BABY (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when sixth in a 1m2 1/4f contest at Moonee Valley a week-and-a-half ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. FRIDAY AT FIVE (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1m1f at Dunkeld. Worth including.
