THINKING GOLD (7) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1m at Pakenham, beaten 0. 8 lengths when fresh from a lay-off. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ITSUKUSHIMA (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1m at Werribee when beaten 0. 8 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. CLAVEL (9) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then she was never in contention and was beaten 3 lengths when ninth in a 7f contest at Cranbourne three-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so she can find the winners' list. CALEANA (15) finished second last time over 7f32yards at Geelong when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
