FREAK OF NATURE (1) was far from disgraced when fourth last start after being in contention on the turn over 7f43yards at Caulfield, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at Sandown-Hillside the start prior. Has the class to produce another win. ZOU SENSATION (8) finished third when resuming two runs back at Geelong then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 6f at Kyneton. Ben Allen scored on him last time and retains the ride. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running another bold race. ANILLA (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks. Has a strong record at the third run in and shapes as a leading player. FLYING MIKKI (9) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by a neck over 6f at Moe last start. Top strike rate at the journey with four wins and a placing from five starts and has solid claims.
