GROUSE MOUNTAIN (5) is racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at Pakenham. Yet to win at this trip but has figured in the placings at all four starts. Terrific chance to break through. NEBUCHADNEZZAR (4) is going well with three minor placings from four starts this prep. Turned in another good effort at his most recent run when third over 1000m at Warrnambool after he got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. TIPPYTAY (7) stepped out for her debut over 1000m at Warracknabeal back on June 28 and finished fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. ZOUPER FUND (3) stepped out for his debut over 1200m at Seymour back on December 29 and finished seventh, beaten 5.5 lengths. With the addition of blinkers is worth keeping safe.
