PRISMATIC (9) did well to finish second two back (3450m) at Warrnambool then ran a nice race last time found one better (3800m) at Casterton 28 days ago, 7 lengths behind the winner. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. CUSTOM OF THE SEA (4) opened the campaign with a respectable third (3450m) at Warrnambool then last start could only manage fifth (3800m) at Casterton 28 days ago. Hard to fault on his best form. ROAD RUNNER (10) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle (3200m) at Warrnambool. Did a better job last time when he grabbed third in a hurdle (3500m) at Casterton. Hard to beat if on his game. ALAKAHAN (1) returned from a spell last start and was on debut over the jumps. Unfortunately on that occasion he in a hurdle (3500m) at Casterton. That run came after a switch to the Jessica Pateman stable. Among the better chances.
