PARIS SHIRAZ (11) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 1m at Bendigo last start. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. BIRTHDAY SUIT (6) raced below her best last time when sixth over 7f at Geelong, beaten 6 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WARMOSA (2) drew wide and ran poorly last start when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this course and distance. Fared better at the stall draw this time. Solid top-three hope. XAPHAN (8) accounted for a maiden field over 6f at Donald last start, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Tom Prebble who was on board last start. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
