RETROSPECTION (6) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when a nose away in second over 1m2f at Woolamai. Among the leading chances. ANYTHING BUT (5) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1m1f at Drouin, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Woolamai at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. PORTOBELLO ROAD (3) was beaten just a neck last start when third in a small field over 1m2f at Woolamai. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. PATRICK (1) was beaten 1.2 lengths into fifth over 1m2 1/2f at Benalla two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed to make amends.
