LENSMAN (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.75 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1m at Newcastle. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. CHANGE THE DATE (1) turned things around last start and got the job done by a neck after being in the firing line on the corner over 7f21yards at Grafton. Likely to be there at the finish again. SERENADE THE CAT (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when seventh in a 1m1/4f contest at Doomben four weeks ago. Has the class to find the winners' list. FRIEND IN NEED (8) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a head over 6½f at Ballina. Solid top-three prospects.
