CHESSPIECE (3) finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f190yards at Swan Hill after she was in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PHAROAHZANO (9) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Ballarat Synthetic over 5½f, beaten 5 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. BUDJIK BOY (1) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 7½f at Geelong. Strong winning chance on best figures. HAZEL'S GOLD (11) has not raced since her debut back on April 5 when she finished seventh over 5f at Cranbourne. Improver who can feature in the finish.
