NEARING LIBERTY (2) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 7f at Bendigo, scoring by a long neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Craig Williams who was on board last start. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. PRAY DAY (4) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1m1/2f at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SETTAT (7) got well back over 1m1/2f at Geelong last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in 11th. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. SHE'S A HUSTLER (11) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.25 lengths win at Geelong over 7f122yards. Worth including.
