Competitive. ESPINHO (3) peaks and has just missed twice since his first-up Maiden win here. Raced a $2.60 favourite at Mornington last time and keeps improving. Dropping back to a shorter sprint shouldn't be an issue for the on-pacer. Go close. NORMANDY LASS (11) won a Bairnsdale Maiden by a space first-up (more than a year away) and then went close this grade at Mornington. She will be fitter again and maps for the run of the race. A player. STAR RAPPER (4) spikes his figures winning a 64 here at a short quote and then was backed off the map on a heavy track at Wodonga and was forced to do too much work in the early and middle stages. Has a jockey switch to Bates today and can get back on track. KEEPSAKE (8) led and won a Maiden here easily before the spell and resumes owning two Flemington trial wins. Hasn't raced for 330 days, but the speedy local looks ready to go. Keep very safe.
