RUNLIKENENCRYPTION (12) settled back before coming home strongly to score on debut over 1100m at Echuca four months ago and has not raced since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Wodonga trial placing. Promising type who can go back-to-back. DIRECT (1) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Comes here with definite claims. ROCKBARTON SHOUT (9) made it two wins in succession last start when she scored by 1.2 lengths over 1000m at Albury. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. REAL GUN (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 3 lengths back in fifth over 1000m at Echuca. Can feature in the finish.
