PHOENICIAN (4) is a 17-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f141yards at Geelong. Fitter and capable of taking this out. SHEFFLIN (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5. 5 lengths when fifth over 1m2f at Wangaratta three-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. AMPLIFICATION (8) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 4 lengths when ninth in a 1m contest at Terang two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEVINE GRUNT (3) turned in an encouraging run when resuming, settling well back then winding up nicely to finish fourth over 1m at Tatura. Was outdashed but got going late and the longer journey looks ideal. Well placed and is among the chances.
