KING EDWARD (3) did a good job on debut last start when a close fourth at Pakenham over 1m. Has plenty of upside and can go on with it. SAUCITO (8) finished 15 lengths adrift in 11th last time at Hawkesbury in a disappointing performance. This is a nice drop in grade so he can find the winners' list. ALPINE COWGIRL (9) was a real eye-catcher last start, coming from the tail over 1m at Cranbourne to finish half a length from the winner in third. Is yet to break through this campaign but is racing well, finishing in the money at all three starts. Expected to be competitive. ON BROADWAY (11) showed good early dash and led for most of the way before fading to finish 4.5 lengths away in fourth over 1m1 3/4f at Yarra Valley. Among the chances.
