WHERE'S THE WINE (4) started at 6/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Ellis Park (Turf) over 5½f. Has the ability to take this out. DEAL'EM AND WEEP (6) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MACHIVA (3) finished second last time out over 1m at this track (Turf), making it three career minor placings. Has been in the frame at all three runs over this trip. Top-three proposition. DATAW ISLAND (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
