UTAH ICON (7) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 450m. Good form should continue. KRAKEN CHIEF (5) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fourth by 3 lengths (26.51). Has a good record here at this journey. Key player if finds best. TWILIGHT AXLE (1) was prominent throughout off a low draw but dropped right out when 6th over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Worth following up. LOLLY CAKE (3) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.79) over 400m at Geelong. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.
