PRINCESS MONTECITO (12) finished fifth on debut two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SCORCHED LANE (4) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 6½f at Bendigo. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. BON FETE (16) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 5f at Bendigo. Improver with a solid top-three chance. TOREADOR (14) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track over 6f, beaten 5 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end.
