FACTCHECK (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside after being in contention on the corner. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. SUNSETS (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1. 75 lengths from the winner in second over 1m1f at Kerang. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. RISING STAR (12) is a promising three-year-old filly who returned from a break last start and finished a long neck away in second over 7f at this track. Among the leading chances. GIGGENBACH (9) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below her best at the last run of the prep, finishing eighth over 1m2f at Flemington. Shapes as one to consider.
