THE MIGHTY SPAR (2) is looking to improve on a last-start seventh on the flat over 1m2 1/2f at Stony Creek on March 8. Partnered again by Steven Pateman who is building a great record when aboard. Tackles a better race this time but is up to the task. RAPID IMPACT (6) wasn't far from the placegetters when resuming from a 134-day layoff on the flat last start, beaten 7 lengths into tenth at Edenhope over 1m1 1/4f. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal. LEADERBOARD (1) returns from a 221-day lay-off. Concluded the last prep with a win (2m6 1/2f) at Ballarat, scoring by 25 lengths. Reliable jumper with five wins to his name from 15 appearances. Expect a bright start to his prep. GOLDEN GARDEN (4) has not raced since he at his first jumps appearance (2m2f) at Ballarat. Makes plenty of appeal.
