KNOBELAS (9) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 7f at Pakenham, scoring by 2 lengths. Can make it back-to-back wins. DARK SIMBA (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 2. 25 lengths when sixth in a 7½f contest at Rosehill two weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. ROADCONE (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 1. 4 lengths, over 7f at Caulfield. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. CHEST OF GOLD (6) bounced back last start and scored by a head over 7½f at Cranbourne. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
