Verdict

EXUBERANCE (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign when she did her best work late and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at Ballarat. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. AUDIO POP CAM (10) got her career off to the perfect start with a nice maiden win at Pakenham and was then tested at city level, where she didn't run up to her best. Put away after that and has jumped out nicely since. HEDONIST (1) finished fifth over 5 ½f at Warrnambool at his most recent appearance on April 29. Sure to make his presence felt. MY ZEPHYR (12) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Murray Bridge but disappointed last time when eighth, beaten 1.75 lengths, at Warrnambool over 6f. Nicely placed to make amends.

1	Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign fifth of 15 at Warrnambool Bm64 April 29 over 5 ½f, soft track, 2.5 len carrying 133lbs at $7. When resuming last campaign sixth of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm64 February 21 over 5f, 3.5 len behind Mystic Reign with 134lbs at $2.80. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win.
