VERDAD (2) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 7½f at Moonee Valley, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Flemington at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHIHULY (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Geelong, beaten 6 lengths. Has never missed the frame second up. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. FIASCO TESS (8) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Caulfield over 1m. Melea Castle stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Expected to measure up. EUPHORIC (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Flemington over 1m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
