HAMNER SPRINGS (7) was lining up for just the second time last start when second over 1400m at Horsham, beaten a head. Backmarker who keeps coming. Looks ready to find form. NO OUTCAST (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a forward position then knocked up in the straight to finish ninth over 1600m at Kilmore. Can bounce back. SECRET BUDDY (4) is a two-start maiden who finished ninth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1212m at Kilmore. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. BLACKFISH (11) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1412m at Benalla. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
