DISCOBAY (9) fought on for third last start over 1m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TIGHT GRIP (6) is yet to break through in 11 runs. Finished ninth at his last appearance over 7f at Werribee on December 8 after he gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. PUMPED UP (8) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Bairnsdale four weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 16 lengths. Should be thereabouts. SPARKELS DIOR (11) is a eight-start maiden who is building towards a win, the latest run an encouraging third over 7f124yards at Yarra Valley after being in the firing line on the turn. Big chance to open her account.
