VILLE DE LUMIERE (6) showed little early speed last start then came with a powerful run to finish third over 6f at Ballarat Synthetic. Sure to prove tough to beat. PLAY ON WORDS (1) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.5 lengths away in third over 7f at Bendigo. Sure to give a sight. BELLE INFERNO (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m at Seymour. One of the main contenders. DOUGAL MCKEEN (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.6 lengths adrift in third over 6½f at Wangaratta. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is a key contender.
