NOUVEAU (12) met with strong support when she resumed two weeks ago over 5f at Mornington and was only beaten 0.8 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOPHAST (4) went forward when resuming last start over 5f at Mornington and held on well for second, beaten a nose. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SARA PERCHE TIAMO (8) finished third at Bairnsdale two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 5f at Mornington, finishing 9 lengths back in ninth after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAGURRY (2) stepped out for his debut over 5½f at Ballarat Synthetic back on May 28 and finished tenth, beaten 9 lengths. Worth following up.
