SWEET CITY DANCER (10) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1000m at Ballarat. Won't find this as tough so she is a major player. IMMORTAL JOY (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1009m at Yarra Valley, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Strips fitter and can bounce back. BRILLIANT EIGHT (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Bairnsdale over 1000m after being prominent from the outset. Sits handy in the run. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. PINERO (9) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1457m at Kilmore. Solid top-three hope.
