MELIDESH (3) just missed heavily bet at Geelong, and the money came again at Ballarat on the synthetic, and he delivered a 58. He can use the inside gate and can win again for a top stable. WHITSON (9) disappointed as favourite at Kilmore, but his Maiden win at Terang prior stacks right up. Draws better and is worth another chance. WRITTEN ROYALTY (7) missed a lip at Sale and has switched yards on a 7-day return. He's going well enough to feature. SNAPPY TYCOON (1) has been around the mark since the all-the-way win at Ararat. Maps well and can make the finish. LESCOT (2) resumes and has a 2kg claim and an inside barrier. Has prepared well and is a betting watch.
