FLUX (2) was in the money at Ararat when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Hamilton over 5½f two-and-a-half weeks ago. Settles off the speed. Suited here and gets chance to break through. GALPIN (7) has not raced since her debut back on November 23 2023 when she finished eighth over 5f at Ballarat. Will improve and looks well placed. SHINOHARA (10) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 1.3 lengths when seventh over 5½f at Bordertown. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. BLOOMIN' CRAFTY (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing tenth and beaten 14 lengths over 7f at Horsham. Looks close to a win and worth including.
