KEY PHILOSOPHY (7) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (28.74) last time in a Special conditions H at Bendigo. Has a good record here including two wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WINNING STEPS (6) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (26.25) at Geelong over 460m. Form at the trip excellent including two wins. Bold showing expected. LEKTRA SOLO (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 1.5 lengths second (25.63) over 450m at this track. Has the ability to be in the finish.
