TYCOONETTE (13) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Sat on the pace at her only start and held on well for third over 6½f at Sandown-Lakeside. Tricky draw to overcome but is expected to prove tough to beat. HIGHLANDS (6) wound up strongly last time at the end of 6½f at Bendigo to finish second, 1.3 lengths from the winner. Should be ready to show his best now so a bold showing is anticipated. BOLOGNA BABY (8) hit the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths, on debut last start over 6f at Cranbourne. Suited by the longer trip and is worth including. BUZITUP (1) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Ballarat a week-and-a-half ago and finished seventh, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can improve sharply.
