THE DRAMATIST (1) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when when resuming last start over 6f at Mudgee. Should tighten right up following that outing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. SLUSH FUND (5) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1. 2 lengths over 6¼f at Randwick Kensington. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. NIGHT FIGHTER (8) hit the line nicely last time to grab second, beaten 1. 75 lengths, over this journey at Scone. Will be doing his best work late. MYSTERY LAD (2) was beaten 3. 5 lengths into fourth in a 6f contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
