SANTANA (4) is on a seven-day back-up after finishing in the money over 6f at Caulfield Heath. Good effort last start and shapes as a major threat. AVENUE MONTAIGNE (7) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Grahame Begg barn. Most recently finished in the placings at Wyong before going for a break. Fitter for a trial win at Cranbourne and looks well placed. Should feature in the finish. IRREVERENT (8) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 7f at Pakenham when she was always up in the leading division. Steps up a level but she is worth serious consideration. FASTOBULLET (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of six months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside. Placed in a recent trial. Can kick off with a bold showing.
