SMOKIN' ROHIE (5) has recorded two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 2200m at Geelong after he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TAPERED (12) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fifth over 1850m at Terang. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. RING THE SHERIFF (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2200m at Seymour, beaten 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DOLLAR BUCKS (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at Warracknabeal, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
