TANYA SIMONE (11) is coming along nicely with back-to-back minor placings, the latest when second over 1474m at Kyneton at her third run in from a spell. Cherry-ripe now so a breakthrough is on the cards. AL PRANCER (2) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1423m at Sale. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ANABAA'S SPIRIT (3) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Ballarat. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. NIC THE CASH (6) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1215m at Kyneton. Likely improver with strong prospects.
