CARTIER ISLAND (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Werribee, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. EVIL LOVER (4) is a maiden galloper resuming today after a spell of four months. Closed last campaign with a seventh over 1000m at Yarra Valley, beaten 6 lengths. Looks to be in good order after placing in a trial. Right in this. NIGHT FLASH (11) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1000m at Cranbourne after being in the firing line on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to break through. GAMADALE CURLY (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 975m at Swan Hill. Strong chance again.
