Strong tempo from Tomorrows Prospect pushing on from Sloane Raider and Enniscrone booting up underneath. ZETHEROS (6) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1400m at Warrnambool. Should come on nicely from that and draws for every hope, big chance. ANGEL'S GATHERING (1) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1600m at Kilmore. Tough draw again but look out late. CALL ME RHONDA (7) is a 10-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Kilmore over 1450m, beaten 7 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. LE PLUS RAPIDE (4) has had a few chances but did strike a tougher maiden at Warrnambool last time, prior efforts were okay for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zetheros to win.
