Manners are a concern for AARDIES PEAK (1) having galloped in each of her three starts this time in but she still managed to overcome an early break to win here two back. She'll need to get it right from the inside draw but she is good enough if on her game. MITCHELL WRAP (4) hasn't been too far from the placings of late, coming from the back row for fourth at his latest appearance at this venue. Leading hope returning to the front line. LADY IN THE SKY (5) came from this barrier when scoring twice in a row before placing from the second line last start. Contender. ALDEBARAN DEMI (9) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Shepparton. Go well.
