MISTER HOCKEY (7) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1421m at Werribee. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will play a major role. MAGIC MARINER (6) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Murray Bridge. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. STRONG MINDED (3) has not raced since his debut on July 3 over 1000m at Murray Bridge when he finished seventh, beaten 5 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. MOUSSAKA (8) debuted two weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1200m at Murray Bridge, beaten 3.5 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end.
