EL FORTRESS (4) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing second over 5f at Ballarat Synthetic on June 14. Likely improver and should prove tough to beat again. TOMANADO (3) is yet to break through but has been in the money two times including last start when third over 5f at this track. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Best form puts him right in this. BOUDICA WARRIOR (18) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 4½f at Albury. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. FRIGHT (5) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 5f at Pakenham Synthetic. Impressive winner of a recent trial at Moe. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
