QUITE THE LASS (2) continued the good recent form when she finished just 1.75 lengths away in third last time out over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove tough to beat. AFRICAN PIONEER (1) made it two wins in a row last start when he scored by a head over 1m at Ballarat. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. AKITU (6) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1m3/4f at Geelong, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at Cranbourne at the previous outing. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. GOVERNOR KING (7) finished third at Swan Hill two runs back but was less effective last time over 7½f at Bendigo, finishing 3 lengths back in sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
