STAND BY ME NED (2) is backing up just eight days after he was strongly fancied and finished third over 7f at Echuca. Has a low draw and is likely to be in the finish. FACTORED IN (16) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m at Donald last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Warrnambool the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AOIFE (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when eighth in a 7f contest at Horsham five weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TATSURO (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in fifth over 6¾f at Donald. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
