ROCKET TIGER (1) registered a strong win at Benalla two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when eighth over 1200m at Wagga, beaten 2.75 lengths after making up late ground. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GREATHAM BOY (3) returns from a break of seven months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a seventh over 1200m at Kranji Turf. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. LESCOT (7) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by 0.8 lengths over 1100m at Kerang. Generally goes well here. Winning claims on best figures. NATION STATE (2) lines up for the first time since December 28. Looking to emulate his win at Ballarat at the beginning of last prep. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Among the better hopes.
