BEAUTY BOUND (15) was denied a head from resuming a winner at Murray Bridge in what has proven to be a terrific form race. Kept fresh with 31 days between runs. Drawn sticky but is expected to play a major role. HYPERNOVA (6) was a barnstorming maiden winner two back and then came very close to making it two on the bounce last start. Racing well and there's no reason he won't be right there at the finish again. IPHIMEDIA (7) doesn't win out of turn but is rarely far away from the action. Finished full of running last start at Cranbourne. Gets her chance to break a long run of outs. RUSSIAN BOBSHARK (2) returns and makes his stable debut for the Clarken & O'Shea partnership. Showed promising signs back in Vic and lead-up trial suggest he'll be forward enough. Don't take lightly. MERCURY EIGHT (8) deserves respect after leading pillar-to-post to shed his maiden tag. The resuming THE JOURNO (5) next best.
