DUPED BY SPIN (7) finished fourth two runs back at Bendigo then improved last time out to score by a head as public elect over 1m at this track. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. ASTUNNER (6) was a gutsy winner last time over 7f65yards at Queanbeyan, scoring by 1.2 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Has a strong association with Damon Budler who has been in the saddle for his last three wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. NIC'S HERO (9) impressed last time with a 4.5 lengths win at Cootamundra over this journey. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Shapes as one to consider. TAP 'N' RUN (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Scone, beaten 5 lengths into ninth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
