VIASAIN (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Pakenham, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. LA PLEINE LUNE (7) finished off last campaign with a sixth at Mornington and has been gelded during the break. Placed in a recent trial. Bold showing expected. TREASUREFLIGHT (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Ararat, beaten 5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. PERSIAN SPIRIT (2) finished second last time over 5½f at Warrnambool when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a head. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player.
