DIAMOND GUST (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2. 25 lengths when fifth over 1m1/2f at Geelong two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRAY DAY (7) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2. 25 lengths last time out over 1m at this track. Likely to press forward from wide out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SALSITA (13) returned from a break of four months with a solid third last start at Sale over 1m1/2f. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. PINK CHANDON (8) produced a reasonable effort when fifth last start over 1m2 1/2f at Sandown-Lakeside. That followed a win at Wangaratta the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race.
