Genuine tempo with Our Wishbone and Nursery Chime pressing for the lead. NAINA (10) is a lightly raced mare who resumed with an encouraging run at Ballarat, carrying 60.5kg and making good ground late to finish a narrow third. She showed some promise last time in, especially getting over a bit more ground and now drops in the weights from a good draw with added fitness. Can run a strong race. OUR WISHBONE (5) is a progressive sort who was first up off a three-month spell at Bendigo and boxed on well for third behind an unbeaten and subsequent winner. Fitter for that and draws to effect here. HEED THE OMENS (4) struggled in better company at Flemington last time but had been good prior and was in the market there. Can bounce back. FINALE (9) was better at Mornington last time and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naina on top.
