MERCIAN HYMN (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 10 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TEN DOWNING STREET (4) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the corner at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths starting at 17/2. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TOBI SARU (5) accounted for a maiden field over 1m4 1/4f at Moe last start, finishing a long neck ahead of the nearest rival. Harder this time but still one to consider. FIFTYSEVENYEARS (1) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from six appearances this prep, finishing 2 lengths away in second most recently over 1m2 1/4f at Wodonga. Right in this.
