GORBACHEV (11) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a nose when resuming last time out over 5f at Gosford. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to be right there at the finish. GANDALF (7) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 1.4 lengths over 5½f at Hawkesbury. Likely to be in the finish again. PUERTO BANUS (2) stuck on well last start to finish second over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook after showing good early speed. This is a suitable assignment and can find winning form. READY TO SHINE (1) finished second last time over 6f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with solid claims.
