OVERVIEW: TAURAS (6) was resuming since July when he was without cover early, got in behind the leader at the 1300m and tried hard for a distant second behind Gaelic Lady at Terang. He should benefit from that performance and he was going nicely at the trials prior so he is capable of going one better. COLLEAGUES (5) has been placed in both of his efforts since coming from Queensland. He gained a nice trail and was going to run a clear second before breaking stride at the 150m at his latest Charlton third and he will prove hard to beat if he delivers a fool proof display. VIXAN (4) competed in a couple of Super Series events against much stronger opposition prior to a sixth at Terang, where she made several errors. She is better than her form reads and is a possible improver. DRESSEDUPINTHECITY (1) was caught without cover early, restrained to be fifth on the markers and battled on fairly well for fourth last outing. She is a maiden from 51 starts but she could fill a place from the pole position.
