NODACHI (1) Group 3 placegetter. Showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish a neck back in second over 1m at Sandown-Hillside. Ready to go one better. EYE OF EPAULETTE (10) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to make an impact when eighth over 1m at Sandown-Hillside. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIOREEN (3) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 7f at Sale, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Thomas Stockdale who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. SAVILLA (5) comes here following a win over 1m at Bendigo three weeks ago, getting home by a long neck. One of the main contenders.
