PANO'S PRIDE (2) ran below expectations last time at Moonee Valley, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $7. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. MARBILLA (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1010m at Sale. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. SHAMROCK BAY (4) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at Tatura. Worth plenty of thought. MR TICKLES (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Seymour, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
