MR ASSERTIVE (3) resumes. He was racing in consistent form last time in work, placing in a slightly deeper BM58 at Geelong before a spell. He was poor first up last time in work but that was a much stronger race behind subsequent G1 winner Reserve Bank. He's won a couple of jumpouts leading in and can make his presence felt. DO IT NOW (10) is racing well, beaten a nose two back at Seymour before another sound effort at Moe. Draws for a soft run here and should be right there. SHYLEAH (12) had an issue when dropping out at Ballarat last time out but had been going well prior, starting $2 in this grade at Seymour two back when just missing. Can bounce back. WALTER SPUR (2) likes wet ground and can bounce back off a poor run last time.
