MOONBIRD (14) showed little early speed when resuming last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track over this journey. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. FLYING CONCELLO (5) scored in a at Ballarat Synthetic but was below her best last time when fifth over 6f136yards at Geelong. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZASZOU (12) is resuming from a lay-off of five months and having her first run for the Phillip Stokes yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Geelong over 6f43yards. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. SIGNAL (2) scored in a at Ballarat Synthetic but was below his best last time when sixth over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
