OF THE VIEW (14) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Swan Hill over 1300m. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Expected to be in the finish. THESE BOOTS (8) was never in contention when 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1514m at Yarra Valley last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at Wagga the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AHAB (1) finished second at Ararat two runs back but was less effective last time over 2000m at Ballarat, finishing 4 lengths back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can atone. PIXEL PRINCESS (11) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1590m at Wangaratta. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
