FIRST TOSEN (2) missed the frame when resuming last start over 7f at Oakbank but wasn't all that far from the winner. Will find this much easier. Will be hard to stop. AOIFE (6) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 7f at Kerang, beaten 3 lengths after she made late ground. The engagement of John Keating is noteworthy. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. TAKE THE PRIZE (7) has registered five minor placings from seven runs this campaign. Continued the trend last start when third over 1m at Colac after she was in the firing line all the way. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PAINT ME RED (4) had been racing well before he was safely held last time out when sixth over 7½f at Mornington. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.
