HIGHLANDS (3) went forward when resuming last start over 6f at Mornington and held on well for third, beaten 0.8 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. LOAFER (14) raced once in the maiden campaign when 11th in the G2 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at Caulfield over 5½f back on February 10. Expected to be very competitive. AMERICAN KESTREL (9) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 6f122yards at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. MINESITE (6) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 5f122yards at Mildura two-and-a-half weeks ago. No surprise to see him in contention.
