PORT ALBERT (1) was thereabouts when resuming last start over 5½f at Bendigo, finishing sixth and beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a solid record at this venue with three wins from seven starts. Facing a tougher assignment but is among the leading chances. FASUTO (2) could only manage fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at Bendigo, beaten only a head. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEEPFLOAT DIVA (10) is a handy four-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished 1.2 lengths away in third over 5½f at Morphettville. GITALONG (5) is fresh from a lay-off of six months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Caulfield over 5f. In a different yard now. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Pakenham.
