SMARTICON (3) finished third, beaten a neck, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f131yards at Geelong. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. MINI ANGEL (7) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 6f at Kyneton. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to take this out. OROVERO (14) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fifth over 5f at Pakenham. Coming along nicely and should be in the finish. DARTH INVADER (1) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6f at Ballarat. In the mix.
