STRUCK GOLD (7) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 6f at this track on December 5. Forgive the last run worth following up. CANTON KID (3) was an impressive winner last time over 5½f at this track, leading throughout and putting 5. 5 lengths on his rivals. Record at this journey is strong with three wins from eight runs and should prove tough to beat. MR MARRAKECH (6) is back at the races for the first time since October 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. HOLSTEIN (2) is back from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1m1f at Kununurra. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
