SANDWINA (5) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by half a length over 1400m at Bendigo. Will be tough to hold out again. CINQUE PONTE (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 2 lengths when sixth over 1400m at Pakenham two-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ENGELINE (4) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in second last start over 1474m at Kyneton. Rhys McLeod stays aboard. Should be involved in the finish. VINO GRANDE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Ballarat, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
