POUNDING (1) looks nicely placed here. He doesn't win out of turn but usually tackles stronger races than this having run on well for third to Pericles at Moonee Valley last time out, who is favourite in the G1 Underwood at Caulfield on Saturday. Rates highly. SHAIYHAR (5) resumes. He looks well in with 54.5kg and the mile fresh suits. Can see him running a strong race. KETTLE HILL (7) was just fair last time but had been a narrow second to Rise At Dawn prior which reads well. BASILINNA (9) should be hitting the line well fresh for further. INDISPENSABLE (2) may be an improver.
