SODA DIESEL (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 5 lengths (19.93) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Rates on top in this line up. EAST OF NOME (1) jumped well and was right in the mix before fading out of it late when 7th over 500m at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Has ability and can atone. GASLIGHT CAPERS (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 350m. Leading player again. ACOUSTIC FLASH (6) is new to this circuit but not to be underestimated.
