KODIAK KING (7) could only manage sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1414m at Seymour, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ELATION AND JOY (13) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at Horsham, beaten only one length. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MATTER MOST (14) ran a little below her best last start when tenth over 1300m at Tocumwal. May appreciate the longer journey this time. Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish. FAERYWOOD (3) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 3 lengths away in third over 1400m at Terang. Has the addition of blinkers. Gets his chance to break through.
