CLEVER ILLUSION (8) is a 17-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 6½f at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLEETLY (10) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 6f at Tamworth, beaten 7 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. IL TEVERE (3) missed the frame last time out when tenth over 1m at Wyong. Still a maiden but has been in the money on four occasions. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from four starts. Will find this a little easier than last time. Should measure up. MAD HARRY (14) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth at his latest appearance over 1m at Dubbo. Cannot be left out of calculations.
