EMMCEE (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 4 lengths when sixth in a 7f contest at Wycheproof five-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. HE'S GODSPEED (1) was not far away last time out, finishing fourth over 6f at Donald. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Expected to run well. MATROOSHI (9) improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 7f at Ballarat. Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. SHOOTER MCGAVIN (2) did his best work late and finished second last time over 5½f at Ararat when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a neck. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
