OLIVIA'S SCANDAL (14) finished sixth two runs back at Swan Hill then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 6½f at Wangaratta. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration. SALCHOW (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 6½f at Stawell, scoring by 2.25 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to feature in the finish. THE BRILL BUILDING (6) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when tenth over 6f at Morphettville after he got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and is sure to be about the mark. CILENTO (9) was beaten 5. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
