WAZZA (2) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1680m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope if he is at his best. ULTIMACTION (8) is a talented mare first up from a break of ten months who generally wastes no time finding form. Finished 30 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Hobart to launch her last preparation when having an issue with her leg. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Capable of taking this out. RUEBE STARBUCK (6) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. KINGOFTHEKLONDIKE (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third when resuming over 1680m at this track last time out.

Resuming after a spell of ten months. Ran only once last campaign running when well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Waterfront at Hobart over 1609m in a 3yo+ 3-4 LTW'S on September 8 at $2.70. Has a strong first-up record with two wins to her name and is a top chance to take this out.
