MELIDESH (1) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 5½f at Geelong. Should be winding up late again. ALBANIAN STAR (11) started this campaign with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 6f at Benalla, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. CAROLINA SUNRISE (3) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished in the money when resuming two runs back and followed that with an unplaced effort, beaten 3 lengths, over 6f on turf at Kyneton. Big chance with that run under her belt. ARMSTRONG BAY (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 8 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at Edenhope over 7¼f after he was well back on straightening. Likely improver who should be in the mix.
