ROYAL PRIDE (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 24.48 beating Computer Model. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Can make it two on the bounce. ASTON FANTASTIC (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (24.05), beaten 4.5 lengths. Boasts a strong record from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Likely to be in the finish again. DARNUM DIESEL (8) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Warragul in a handy 22.75 beating Olympic History. Expected to feature again. VALENCIA JIM (6) was out of placings last time (26.48) at Warragul in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Already a winner from this draw.

Returns from a 11 weeks break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 515m at Sandown. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
