SHANWAH (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 3 lengths over 1m1f at Caulfield Heath. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Leading player again. EMPHASIZE (5) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a long neck success over 1m2f at this track last time. Won only start here and looks a leading prospect again. ENTRUSTING (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1m1f at Sandown-Lakeside as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Among the leading players again. IMPERIALIST (2) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish third, beaten only a long neck, over 7¾f at Canterbury. Minor claims.
