HOWDY (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 6f at Pakenham. Ben Allen has registered four minor placings when on board. Well placed and should be in the finish. FEAR NO EVIL (1) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 6f at Kyneton two weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. PRAY DAY (5) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Pakenham when he worked home well, beaten 1.75 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. MAKDANE (2) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 6f at Pakenham. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
