ANTIDOTE (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1000m at Albury, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. MEGAFLASH (1) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fifth over 1209m at Yarra Valley. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. WELLSPRING (4) is on a quick back-up after finishing eighth in better company seven days ago over 1170m at Wangaratta. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MAHI MAHI (8) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1112m at Kyneton. Looks up to the mark following a trial win at Bendigo. Has ability so don't underestimate.
