1. RUNAWAY ($2.15)
Third-up today and won third-up in the past.

Second run from a spell finished fifth of 9 runners at Pakenham HDLE on April 18 over 3200m, on slow going 9 len behind Saunter Boy with 65kg at $9.

1. SAUNTER BOY ($2.15)

Race before ran last in a small field at Caulfield BM100 on April 9 over 2400m, 4 len behind Maserartie Bay with 51kg at $21. Good display the other day and clearly the horse to beat.

4. SHOWMANSHIP ($3.90)
Resuming after a 20 months break. Finished off last preparation won by 1.3 len Moonee Valley LR Bendigo Bank September 5 2020 over 1200m defeating Felicia with 56kg at $2.40.
