FOX MAN (5) has recorded four minor placings from five runs this preparation. Was in the firing line all the way and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1000m at Ballarat. Must be included on the strength of that form. ASMITA (10) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at Mornington. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Yarra Valley over 1009m. Should present well following a recent trial win. Nicely placed and expected to go well. THE KILL CLUB (9) is a maiden galloper who resumes after finishing in the money over 900m at Mt Gambier six-and-a-half months ago. Sharpened for this with a recent trial win. Shapes as one to consider. INFER (2) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Ballarat Synthetic. Makes plenty of appeal.
