GRACIE'S RAIN (15) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 5f at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 6 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MISS WINSLET (12) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 6f at Swan Hill, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Ben Allen was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Capable of making it two on the trot. EXCEED THE DREAM (10) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Ararat. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Definite top-three chance. STAR HONOUR (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 2. Lay-off. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
