FROM A DISTANCE (5) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1400m at Warrnambool, beaten 1.5 lengths after he did his best work late. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. BARBIE'SDREAMWORLD (14) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1700m at Warrnambool after being in the firing line on the bend. Has the talent to take this out. WATERSPORTS (11) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at Caulfield. Has the talent to produce a better result. SHUBAEL (15) got off the mark over 1454m at Kyneton last start, scoring by half a length. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
