FOX MAN (3) started at $6 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Colac over 1008m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHIMSHALAR (7) broke her maiden last start over 900m at Mt Gambier, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Re-unites with Melissa Julius who was on board last start. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under her belt. BOMBISCUIT (5) lines up for the first time since October 24. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 900m at Mt Gambier. Worth plenty of thought. BENTLEY BROOK (1) faded right out of it last time over 1200m at Balaklava after showing good early speed and leading for much of the way, eventually finishing seventh. Solid top-three prospects.
