CHEROKEE BRAVE (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m1/2f at Warrnambool, beaten 3.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. WAY UP HIGH (13) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh in a 1m4f contest at Caulfield a week ago. This is a nice drop in grade so she can find the winners' list. OFF HIS ROCA (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1m3f at Hamilton a week-and-a-half ago. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. DAIQUIRI (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Mornington over 1m2f after being up on the pace until straightening. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
