WONDERDOWNUNDER (7) won't get a better chance to break through after placing at his last four outings. Did a good job from an awkward gate at Werribee last time, following a narrow defeat at Ballarat. Draws low today, back 100m, and is likely to find a comfortable lead. SHALAAKEI (5) is an improver from the Hayes yard, bringing a 1.5-length defeat over 1300m at Wodonga. The longer journey suits and Nolen is engaged today. Will be further improved and can make the finish. BOY FROM OZ (2) resumes and placed this track/trip at his only fresh outing. Has the blinkers on for the first time and has jumped out at Sandown. He has upside and will likely be finishing hard. THE GRUMP (6) resumes this track/trip and needed the outing. In the mix with that under the belt. MR VEGAS (3) can show more second-up.

Second-up. First-up after nine months 4th in a small field at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Pol Rogeur with 58kg at $8. Previously second-up 8th of 13 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw on July 21 over 1600m, slow going 10 len behind Wollemia Angel with 57kg at $14. Fitter for that run and is in the mix.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on April 11 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Share The Stars with 59kg at $2.70. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Lufitaah with 58kg at $3.40. Perfectly placed to get off the mark.
