SLANE (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 7f at Pakenham. A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. KOROBEINIKI (7) finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 7f at Pakenham two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Among the chances. SATIN IMAGE (10) finished ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m3f at Bairnsdale, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp. MAGADAN (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a head over 1m1/2f at this track. Can play a big role.
