ORLABENT (1) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 4¾f at Moonee Valley. Well-placed to turn things around. AZEEZLE (6) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by a neck over 5f at Mornington. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. LLOYD'S CROWN (3) made a nice return two starts back then settled well back and found a few when fifth over 5f at this track two weeks ago. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. CASTELLAR (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
