ENCOURAGED (12) was beaten for early speed on debut last start but hit the line nicely to get up for second over 5f at Pakenham Synthetic. Will benefit from that experience so he will prove tough to beat. TEN WARRIORS (5) booted up from the inside draw to lead when returning from a lay-off last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing a long neck away in second over 5½f at this track. Should go well. EL PASO (11) stepped out for his debut over 6f at Pakenham back on April 11 and finished fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Worth following up. POP AWARD (9) settled back on debut last time out but wound up strongly in the run home to finish third over 5½f at this track. Has upside and worth including.
