EXCELTRAIN (1) is a last-start winner over 7f at Kalgoorlie, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a nose. William Pike who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. ODINAKA (10) lifted strongly to salute by a head three runs back at Belmont Park before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Gets the advantage of a good draw. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LITTLE SILVER (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Kalgoorlie, beaten 3. 5 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PROPHET AND POWER (2) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 7f at Belmont Park, finishing eighth, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Has a solid second up record. Can improve sharply here.
