Born To Shine and Tapo should set a strong clip. WHAT YOU WILL (10) will find this much more to her liking than recent starts. Started in the market first-up but failed to flatter when she might not have relished the synthetic track and was then ambitiously-placed last time out in town and although she only beat a few home she got within 2.6 lengths of the winner. Looks well drawn here and can bounce back. TAPO (6) did nothing last time out but was a good winner in this grade the last start prior, so probably needs to be given another chance. BORN TO SHINE (9) won first up as Casterton. Will strip fitter for the outing and should take up a handy position. FAKE MAGIC (1) third run from a spell next elect. SUGGESTED PLAY: What You Will each-way.
