MARAVICH (4) in the money at both runs this prep, the latest a solid second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 7f on turf at Ballarat. First try on synthetic. Happy to stick with this five-year-old. SPECIAL DANCER (11) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 7f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. LINKIT (2) finished midfield on his return from a lay-off last start over 6f at Mornington. Will take a lot from that hitout so he looks sure to run well. MADE THE EFFORT (10) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten just 1.75 lengths. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
