VINCENT (4) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing eighth over 6f at Ipswich at the latest appearance on December 29. Looks to be in good order after placing in a trial. Bold showing expected. CHATTERBOX (10) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Sunshine Coast, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. FIRE AND LIGHT (7) last appeared on July 29 when a good fifth over 7f at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 2.75 lengths. Lines up. For the first time for trainer william kropp. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SHAKE'N'BAKE (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6f at Toowoomba when fresh from a break. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Expected to run well.
