They should run this along with Kimono and Rosie's Prophecy taking it up over Vonk. STOLEN (4) resumes and has switched to a leading metro stable. She raced well at the back of her maiden preparation and has jumped out well for her return. The 2kg claim is handy in easier and she's capable of using an inside barrier. FRIENDZONED (8) also finds easier and assess her chances on the 1.3K defeat at Cranbourne two back when she finished hard after drawing out. The gate is tricky again, but she will be in the finish if things work out. RUNAWAY SOUL (5) peaks and has been within range at her last two. Has been kept on the fresh side, and Egan is reunited. In the mix. SHEILA (1) pulled up with an issue at Albury, but she was a big 58 winner at Wodonga prior, riding the speed on a heavy surface. The 2kg claim is handy and she can give a sight at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Stolen to win.
