MR BLACKWOOD (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m4 1/2f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. UNTETHERED (3) has accrued five minor placings from six runs this campaign. Was prominent throughout and finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1m4f at Caulfield. Must be included on the strength of that form. CHOQUANT (4) showed good speed to lead over 1m2f at Pakenham last start but faded right out of it to finish ninth. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. YES SIR ICANBOOGIE (9) accounted for a maiden field over 1m4 3/4f at Pakenham last start, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Damian Lane who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
