COASTAL ABBEY (6) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5½f at Bendigo after being in contention on the turn. This is a more suitable contest and can take this out. CHOSEN LEGEND (5) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing tenth over 5f at Ballarat at the latest appearance on March 11. Filled a minor placing in a recent Stawell trial. Great chance to break through. PHAROAHZANO (1) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at Horsham. Has further upside and looks ready to break through. TWO CUBED (12) raced once in the maiden campaign when fifth at Warrnambool over 6f back on May 1. Top-three chance with that run under her belt.
