Lots of speed predominantly from Here's To Jane, Moonraker and Francine. SMART RETURN (7) was quickly back on track, narrowly beaten at Terang. He's been scratched at the barrier since and has had two jumpouts to sort him out. Has a key gear switch, and is a winning chance all things being equal. Stablemate MISS TALLCHIEF (4) resumes off a big 64 win here. Has the rail and handy 2kg claim. Fancied in early betting, suggesting she's going to be presented ready this time around. FRANCINE (2) was tracking well before the latest and deserves consideration. MOONRAKER (5) won first up two starts ago at Ararat but couldn't go on with it last start when seventh over 1100m at this track. Can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Smart return with the race fitness.
