MAWHERA (1) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected his maiden win when resuming at Cranbourne then backed it up with a solid third over 7½f at this track at the latest outing. Blinkers added so the stable might have him peaking. FRENCH FLIRT (3) got off the mark over 1m at Pakenham last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to double the win tally. VILNIUS (2) started at 15/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.2 lengths at Sandown-Lakeside over 7f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SPANGLED SIPPER (4) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten a head into second over 1m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
