PAPAL ARMY (6) was in the money in a at Cranbourne then missed the frame last time out when a 0.7 lengths fourth at Moonee Valley. This is far easier. Among the leading chances in this company. PALACE WINTER (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 1m2 1/4f at Cranbourne two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. MARLIN (2) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at Yarra Valley over 1m1 3/4f just 10 days ago. Good effort last start and a bold showing is likely. FERN FRENZY (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m4 1/4f at Moe. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
