STONEAGE ROMEO (8) was fresh from a break of a year last start when beaten 1.75 lengths into second over 6f at Pakenham after he was prominent throughout. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Ready to win. CUDMORE STREET (2) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 6f at Pakenham. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. ITWASONLYAKISS (4) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 7f at Wangaratta, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. Strong chance again. ZE BEE NINE (9) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished sixth over 7f58yards at Kyneton. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
