VIENNA VIXEN (10) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.75 lengths back in fourth over 7½f at this track. Deserves to break through and looks well placed to break through. ONE LONG DAY (5) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score by a head over 7f134yards at Moonee Valley when he gave away a big start on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ESTRAPAZ (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 7½f at Mornington. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. LOOSE ON GIN (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.8 lengths over 7f at Warrnambool last time out. Facing a tougher assignment but must be respected.
