TIFFANY VALENTINE (16) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 5½f at Geelong when returning from a lay-off. Can measure up again. DEEPFLOAT DIVA (15) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.2 lengths from the winner in third over 5½f at Morphettville. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ALONG THE RIVER (5) was comfortably accounted for when tenth last time out over 5½f at Flemington, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at Seymour at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he can recapture winning form. PANTELONE (6) is back at the races for the first time since May 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
