TAKEN (9) has had a few chances but hasn't run poorly to date, placing in all five starts. Resumed with a solid second placing at Pakenham despite going under as favourite. Fitter for the rise to 1400m, with any luck he can break through. STREET LARK (14) ran a strong race on debut at Cranbourne when beaten a nose by one with consistent form. Better for that, rates a big chance. COLOGNE (5) is a gelding by top sire I Am Invincible on debut for the Hayes yard. He's jumped out well and can win. PESCHIERA (10) was good fresh at Pakenham when showing early speed. Can be in this for a long way. BLUE ISMAY (4) can run well on debut.
