SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (6) finished fifth two runs back at Cranbourne then improved last time out to score by half a length after being prominent at the corner over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CONDOR (1) was a narrow winner by a neck at Swan Hill two back then second at Bendigo last time. Down in the weights on last run. Best form puts him right in this. MELIDESH (2) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1100m at Kerang. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. MYSTERY BLONDE (8) is on a quick back-up after finishing sixth in better company eight days ago over 1005m at Sale. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
