STRIKE GOLD (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.2 lengths adrift in third over 1000m at Bendigo when resuming after a break. Sure to go well again. HIGHLAND SON (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 4 lengths when ninth in a 1300m contest at Wangaratta three weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NEON'S LAST (5) got the job done when resuming last start at Donald over this distance after he was prominent at the bend. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Will find this assignment a little tougher but has winning claims. FOXY HEART (9) was in the money two starts back at Geelong but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 10 lengths, at Ballarat over 1200m. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
