SAMANTH (8) wound up strongly at the end of 1210m at this track last time out, finishing a neck away in third. Comes here in the right frame of mind so she should play a major role again. HE'S ABEL (1) progressed nicely last time out when he made late ground to finish just 1.4 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at this track. The engagement of Callan Murray is noteworthy. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. ORIEDOS (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1350m at this track. Alana Livesey gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HEADSMART (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 31 when beaten 3 lengths into fourth at Werribee over 1400m. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
