GOING NUCLEAR (6) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a seventh over 1m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. NORTHERN PRIDE (1) proved too strong last start and scored by a head over 7f at this track. Has six wins here. Aidan Holt who has four wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. UNDER THE LIMIT (4) turned in a fair effort at Doomben over 5½f at his last run 11 weeks ago, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. Set Weights EET KISSES (3) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1. 3 lengths at her most recent outing when third over 6f at this track. Fiona Sandkuhl sticks. Not to be discounted.
