POND MASTER (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DAYTONA PETE (1) finished fourth over 1000m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. KING HIT (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track five months ago. Can make his presence felt. GOD'S GATE (5) comes here off a break of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1100m at Northam. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
