UNDER MY THUMB (7) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten one length over 5f122yards at this track. Big chance based on that effort. DUBLINERS (13) raced once in the maiden campaign when ninth at Ballarat over 5f back on March 11. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. MALE MODEL (4) finished second last time over 5½f at Bendigo when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to score. HOT TOO GO (10) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Could only manage to finish 12th at the latest run over 7f at Flemington. Solid top-three hope.
