VELLASMACHINE (9) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1300m at Sandown-Hillside. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. CORAL IMPACT (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1700m at Geelong after being in contention on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BANXI (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 2080m at Cranbourne. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. TASSRON (8) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths over this journey at Pakenham. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and has solid claims.
