LEADERBOARD (2) has had two runs this prep both have been on the flat. Resumed with an unplaced effort at Bendigo then weighed-in 11th last time over 2400m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 14 lengths. All set to improve in this more suitable race. SCHABAU (6) was most recently at the races eight months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing (3500m) at Casterton, beaten 2 lengths. Expect him to be prominent. BAZINI (5) has not raced since he at his first jumps appearance (3500m) at Casterton. Worth plenty of thought. INSTIGATOR (1) is yet to feature this prep. Finished seventh, beaten 8 lengths, two runs back when resuming on the flat over 2000m at Ballarat. Lost the rider last time out (3450m) at Warrnambool.
