WHATSANAMEGEORGE (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 17 lengths over 1m4 1/2f at Moonee Valley. Has the talent to return to form. SAVATOFF (2) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1m1f at Morphettville. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AMERICAN TROUBLE (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.2 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m2 3/4f at Oakbank. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. HAYAI MESU (5) was below her best last time, finishing ninth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1m1 1/2f at Oakbank. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
