MATROOSHI (11) raced favourite at Ballarat in stronger company but found one much too good after a wide run. Covered the others and is better placed back in a country 62. Has the tongue tie on for the first time and rates hard to beat. SHOOTER MCGAVIN (4) resumed further improved, beaten a whisker behind The Kill Club at Ararat. He settled back before improving wide and the run was full of merit. Has an outside barrier to manage, but he is a threat with the extra fitness. DARK HARMONY (2) has been racing in stronger class and is a better hope than the form line suggests. He will run along from an inside barrier, and 2x winning rider Meech is reunited. Can't be ruled out putting his best foot forward. OUR UPTOWN GIRL (6) resumes and has switched from a Sydney stable. She has won first-up and has had four jumpouts for the Paynes. May need one, but she tumbles in grade, and the betting will be key.
