SOPHAST (5) went forward over 5f at this track last time and held on for second. Can spear across from the awkward gate. Goes well at this distance, filling a placing at all five runs and is expected to be in the finish. HELOVAWIN (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 5f at Moe. Solid prospects. FLOWER GALLERY (8) was last at the races when she finished seventh over 5f at Moe on May 14. Has to be respected. ROAD TO RECOVERY (10) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 6f at Kyneton. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
