PRIDEOFTHEBIGFISH (3) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when third over 6f at this track. Great chance to break through. CHIROGRAPHY (6) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7f at Warrnambool after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HOLD MY HALO (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 6¼f at Cairns, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE GENERAL TALKS (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 7½f at Cairns, beaten 4.5 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Nicely placed to run well again.
