FAUCI (17) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid sixth when resuming last start over 6f at Pakenham. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Will be hard to stop. PODARGONI (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten half a length into second over 6f at Ballarat. Has upside and should feature in the finish. THINXZO (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at Ballarat. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. HIGHLAND SAPPHIRE (11) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 7f at Geelong, beaten 4.5 lengths. Sure to be about the mark.
