HOW AMAZING (4) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (22.57) at Ballarat. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Can discover winning form. UTAH ICON (2) was in the minors two back (28.48) at Bendigo but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 7th. Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and can measure up. SODA BEN (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (25.62) at this track. Solid record here at this trip including two wins. Must be included in calculations. ZAMBADA ICON (8) is right in the mix.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Likely to struggle this time.

Was out of placings last time (22.57) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
