HIGHLAND GEORGE (7) surprised many last time when a close second over 6½f at Echuca. Sure to go well again. STEREO HEART (6) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f at Corowa. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. PHAROAHZANO (8) started at 9/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Hamilton over 5½f. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. DISSALTO (2) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, after being in the firing line on the turn at his latest appearance over 6f at Bairnsdale. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
