MR CHARISMATIC (4) is back from a lay-off of six months. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 9 lengths, over 5f136yards at Geelong. Credentials hard to fault. TURN UP THE NIGHT (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 6f at Kyneton after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. WRITTEN ROYALTY (1) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 6½f at Bendigo, an improvement on his sixth at Sandown-Hillside the run before. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. COFFIN DODGER (2) broke his maiden last start over 6f at Murtoa, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Joe Bowditch was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run.
