Dubawi Prince will take good improvement into his third campaign start and is ready to win.
The Pride Of Dubai colt needed the run when he finished down the order at Swan Hill when resuming, but was an eye-catching second at Ballarat last time out.
He might not be offered a better opportunity to win than this.
He will require some luck from a potentially sticky draw, but I think that Amalfi Star will take good improvement into his second campaign task, and he looms as a genuine each-way chance in Race 5 at Echuca.
The Star Witness gelding has made just two appearances at the races so far, but has finished on the placegetters’ heels on both occasions, and does look to have ability.
He is still clearly learning his craft, but this looks a winnable race for him.
Boom Boom Becker broke his maiden in style at Geelong last time out, and this looks the next logical step for him.
The Spirit Of Boom gelding has continued to improve with each of his three starts back from a spell, but his last-start effort suggested that the penny has really started to drop.
He’s drawn to receive another lovely run today with Johnny Allen in the saddle.
Miss Sarasota is another last-start winner that can make it two in a row at Echuca this afternoon.
The Pierro filly finished fourth at Sale on debut in July and returned from a freshen-up to break her maiden at Cranbourne.
This is obviously harder, but she looks to be a decent type and will just need appropriate luck from out wide to figure in the finish again.
