MR TICKLES (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 5f at Bendigo after being prominent from the outset. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. RUSSIAN BOBSHARK (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.4 lengths from the winner in third over 5f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. TORNADO'S SISTER (12) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 5f at Mornington. Has been in the money at all four starts at this course. Capable of a big run. SHAMROCK BAY (9) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is one of the better hopes.
