ELSIE MAY (3) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1800m at Sandown-Hillside. Rates highly on latest effort and can go on with it. NATION'S CALL (5) was in contention on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2000m at Caulfield after missing the placings at the previous appearance. The engagement of Blake Shinn is noteworthy. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RISE TO IT (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2000m at Rosehill. Among the chances. BLANCHLAND (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Caulfield, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
