JILLIBY BALLERINI (2) is a talented mare who looks to have come back in good order judging by her resuming win at Geelong where she came from a similar draw to score by more than 11m. She looks capable of working through her grades this time in. REMUS PHOENIX (5) took on the better three-year-olds last season, placing up to G2 level and winning at Bendigo when last seen in November. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance and will be ready to fire off two trial wins. AVANT GUARD (8) continues to race well at this venue, recording back-to-back seconds before a fourth from this barrier last week. In the mix. MERCENARY (7) should find this easier than recent attempts so can do better. MEGA SPUR (1) is building in fitness and is aided by the ace draw.
