ETOSHA (3) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4f at Longford nine days ago. Steps up in distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. BINE (4) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish 1.3 lengths away in third over 6f at Hobart. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. GOLDEN MEADOW (7) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 6f here last time. Will be putting in the big strides late. INTISAR (5) started at 9/2 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 3 lengths, at Devonport Synthetic over 5¾f. Can make amends.
