GITALONG (1) went forward when resuming last start over 1000m at Moonee Valley and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. WHISTLEFIELD (4) is a genuine four-year-old mare who resumed with a solid second last time out at Warrnambool over 1000m. Bright prospects. SOJU (7) impressed last time with a 3 length win at this track over this journey. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and three minor placings from eight starts. Capable of going well. ALONG THE RIVER (3) lines up for the first time since January 24. Looking to emulate his win at Mornington at the beginning of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt.
