JOYAS short back-up of seven days and faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Healesville, outside hope. KAIMANA GAL placed last start at Balnarring and should run fitter for past attempts, outside hope. NEEDA BIGGER BOAT back from let-up and goes well at Woolamai, for the exotics.
