Verdict

RAVENS GLOW (8) brings the strongest exposed profile, with three placings from four starts and a second at this track before a three-month break. She was beaten as favourite that day, but the comfortable Wangaratta trial points to a forward return and her overall consistency gives her the edge. I'M DA BOSS (2) is the race-fit danger after a first-up third at Hamilton, beaten just over half a length, and his repeated placings around 5 ½f make him a solid winning threat. PROLIFIC ANGEL (11) has more upside than his debut fifth at Werribee suggests, having won a Cranbourne trial for the Anthony and Sam Freedman stable since a five-month break. TUNGAMAH TESS (14) is the most interesting debutant, an easy Wangaratta trial winner for the Weeding yard who can set one up for a local winning start.

8	Resumes after three months as the leading exposed chance, having placed in three of four starts and finished second at this track before the break. She was sent out favourite that day and only battled on over 7f in heavy ground. A comfortable Wangaratta trial win is the right sign for this fresh attempt. Looks nicely placed by the local yard. 1st Pick 8 Ravens Glow Jockey: Patrick Moloney Trainer: Ben Brisbourne J: Patrick Moloney T: Ben Brisbourne	64	-	-	-	25%	3/1

2	Put himself right in the mix first-up at Hamilton, finishing third in a Mdn and beaten just over half a length on soft ground after working home evenly from midfield. His previous run at Stawell was plain on heavy ground, though he did race wide throughout. Should be an improver now and looks a key hope. 2nd Pick 2 I'm Da Boss Jockey: Brad Rawiller Trainer: Vincent Malady J: Brad Rawiller T: Vincent Malady	171	-	-	-	19%	9/2

11	Resumes after five months and has been readied with a Cranbourne trial win, giving him a much stronger platform than his debut alone. He was fifth in a Mdn at Werribee before the break, beaten just over five lengths after settling rearward and keeping on. Looks capable of sharp improvement on debut form. 3rd Pick 11 Prolific Angel Jockey: Damien Thornton Trainer: Anthony & Sam Freedman J: Damien Thornton T: Anthony & Sam Freedman	85	-	-	-	19%	9/2
