GORBACHEV (11) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a nose when resuming last time out over 1000m at Gosford. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to be right there at the finish. GANDALF (7) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 1.4 lengths over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Likely to be in the finish again. PUERTO BANUS (2) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1280m at Muswellbrook after showing good early speed. This is a suitable assignment and can find winning form. READY TO SHINE (1) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with solid claims.
