SHOW OF GOLD (8) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at Cranbourne after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. ELATION AND JOY (12) wasn't far away on debut last start over 7f at Wangaratta, finishing fourth and beaten 0.6 lengths. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. UNDERSTUDY (10) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Pakenham over 7f, beaten 5 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. NOBLE STEED (6) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f131yards at Geelong when he did his best work late, beaten 1.75 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field.
