REGAL SECRET (7) accounted for a maiden field over 6f38yards at Geelong last start, finishing a neck ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Daniel Stackhouse was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Big chance to go back-to-back. JUST FOR SHOW (3) continues to race well with a win in a at Ballarat before finishing 1.3 lengths away in second last time over 6½f at Bendigo. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. BUTTERNUT PRINCESS (8) resumed over 5f122yards at Kyneton last start and after showing little early speed closed hard to score by a long neck. Watch for her running on late again. HARPALEE (2) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 6f at this track when beaten half a length. Winning rider Luke Currie stays aboard. Must be respected.
