OTIUM (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1m2f at Taree, making it three minor placings in a row. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CHINA GROVE (7) got the prize two runs ago at Tamworth. Less impressive last time out when tenth over 7¼f at Kempsey, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. . Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten a nose, at Tamworth over 1m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. BETTER EXPLAIN (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7¼f at Kempsey, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
