SOMETHINGSOSTRONG (8) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1. 2 lengths, over 6½f at Seymour. Outdashed but got home well and looks suited by the extra ground. Expected to prove tough to stop. FASHIONABLE LADY (9) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 7f at Seymour. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. EL TORO MACHO (1) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fifth after being in contention on the turn at his last appearance over 7½f at Mornington on December 23. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. Lay-off. Well placed to bounce back.
