LUCKY DUCK (2) was doing her best work late last start to get up for third over 5f185yards at Wangaratta. Will be hard to hold out again. GHIDI (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Penshurst, beaten 6 lengths into ninth. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is right in contention. Set Weights EET 'N' SPICY (5) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when sixth in a 6f contest at Colac four weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. ILIAD (1) returns from a layoff of eight months. Scored over 5½f at Ballarat at the start of last prep. Has switched to the Lisa Jones stable. Makes plenty of appeal.
