CANTOLAGO (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 7f at Sale but could only manage fourth, although only 2.5 lengths from the winner. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Will play a major role. THUNDER HAWK (12) could only manage third as favourite last start over 1m at Echuca after being well positioned to strike on the turn, making it two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Among the leading chances. ILLUMINANCE (6) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last time out when second over 6½f at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SHYLEAH (11) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Benalla, beaten 2 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
