READY TO SHINE (4) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 0.7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1100m at Wyong. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. LIVIN' THING (2) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Will be better for that latest run and must be respected. READY TO ROCKET (10) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 2 lengths into third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Must be respected. MANSIERE (1) was in contention on the bend and worked home well and finished second last time over 1100m at Warrnambool when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.75 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field.
