ISTOLEA MERC (1) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at Randwick after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. BALKANS (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 5½f at Randwick. Expected to measure up. WAVE BREAKER (8) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 1. 1 lengths over 5f at Scone. Winning hope here. APEX (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5½f at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
