MAXY CAN DANCE (12) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who made it two wins from three starts when he came from this row and dug deep to score first up. Draws wider but has plenty of upside and can continue to work through his grades. JAMES GARNER (6) looks close to a win after placing in three of his last four starts. Only missed by a neck when runner up at Maryborough last start. Draws wider but with even luck could break through. MONTANA PRIDE (7) draws deep but should be ready to peak fourth up after finishing second here two weeks ago. SASSYOLA (1) draws well and is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to finish second at Geelong.
