ALICE FROM VENUS (4) turned in a better effort at Ballarat last start, finishing second behind Rear Vision (26.22) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Makes plenty of appeal. RAPIDFIRE DENZEL (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (30.84) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Can measure up this time. WHITE SHIRAZ (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (19.87) at Healesville. Expecting another good run. EAST OF NOME (1) will give backers a sight.
