HARD BOB (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 2000m at Ballarat after being prominent at the bend. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. THE RIGHT PAGE (11) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was handy all the way over 1760m at Geelong. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DOLLAR BUCKS (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 53 lengths into ninth at his latest appearance over 2156m at Terang. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. PREFERRED ASSASSIN (10) finished 7 lengths from the winner in tenth at her most recent appearance over 1850m at Terang after she gave away a big start. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
