INFINITE MATRIX (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Ararat over 1100m after being in contention all the way. Settles close to the speed. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PORT LOUIS (4) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1100m at Hamilton, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. FIRST RETURN (3) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Horsham after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. TORVECCHIO (14) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Mildura, beaten 4 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
