Encompass (1) resumed here but needed the run.Improved quickly when comfortably winning a doomben maiden over this trip.It was a tough effort and fitter he is capable of taking the next step.Toolatemate (9) didn't finish it off at doomben this grade but was tracking well prior.Missed a whisker her three back at this distance and thompson is a key jockey switch.Deserves another chance.Russian mystic (3) is a former victorian who resumed with an easy maiden win at doomben.Gives every indication the 1m1/2f will suit and he has the rail today which he's capable of using.West cork (8) resumed at eagle farm in stronger and will be better for the run.Has more to give but needs luck pushing forward from an outside stall.
