RIVERBEND UNICORN (3) resumes for the in-form local barn of Wayne Carroll. Has shown encouraging signs to date and wouldn't had to have improved much over the break to be very competitive in this. His recent trial suggests he's come back nicely. Gets his chance. DEEBAA (11) has gone better than the form reads in her two starts, closing off nicely late on both occasions. With natural improvement in store third-up and a key booking in McDougall, a bold showing is anticipated. DOC MARCH (5) will get a long way back from his wide draw but possesses a strong turn of foot. Can reel them in late if they overdo it early. DITA VON (1) continues to knock on the door and gets another opportunity here after placing again last start. Each-way claims in an open race. REEF ROAD (2) should improve at start three and looks best of the rest.
