ALEXANDER THEGREAT comes back a gelding after a long spell due to bone chip removal from off foreleg. Ran along at solid tempo when successful over this trip at only start. Still looked to have retained dash when racing away in Cranbourne jump out win. ON THE LOOSE resumes, but finished a close third to promising Berlemont and Ten Warriors first up over 1400m at Pakenham. That's excellent form. BOULDEROO battled on well in higher grade last start and looked in good touch running down the consistent Blue Valentine at Donald. SHEANADH is assisted by the 3kg claim and looks to have come back stronger this preparation. Form from last start improved when runner up Sugar Schnapps easily won at Kilmore. LIM'S IDA battled on solidly first up and winner Brutal World has now won both starts this preparation.
