JURA VAUDOIS (9) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1050m at Oakbank after being in contention on the bend. In the right race and is a winning hope. THE SECRET BLEND (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1200m at Bordertown. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. STAR GLADIATOR (7) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1050m at Oakbank. Expected to feature in the finish this time. EMBELLISHER (5) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
