FIRE FOLLOWER (1) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on February 11 and finished sixth behind Barber over 5½f in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) at Sandown-Hillside. Well placed and expected to feature. TRUTH I FEAR (4) resumes. After running last in a small field on debut at ballarat synthetic over 6f. Rates as a strong chance. SILENT ALERT (3) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 6½f at Swan Hill. Among the chances while fresh. MADE THE EFFORT (6) is back at the races for the first time since September 1. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5½f at Pakenham Synthetic. Has found the right race and is worth including.
