GAME THEORY (10) settled well back last start and never threatened when 6 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6f at Donald. Nicely placed to make amends. KHANT BEE (1) returned from a break with a solid fifth, winding up late at the end of 7f at Ballarat after settling well back. Should be doing best work late. TIMEONLEES (6) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 7½f at Ballarat Synthetic after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. WHISPERING PHARAOH (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7½f at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
