BANYAN JENNI (5) stepped out on her debut over 5f at Pakenham a month ago and finished fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. SCORCHED LANE (2) is a maiden galloper who hasn't raced since finishing in the placings over 6½f at Bendigo nine months ago. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Key runner. VIRE RIVER (7) is a 10-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at Bairnsdale over 5f. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. ASKMUMASKDAD (1) is a gelding by Needs Further out of Jewel Of The Naki who is at the races for the first time. Placed at most recent Pakenham trial run. Worth consideration.
