DIAMOND CLAY (5) is on a hot streak recording a 17.39 win over 295m at this track last start following on from a sharp 17.29 success at this track over 295m the start prior. Recorded strong figures recently and rates on top again. RUNNING ON EMPTY (8) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 295m (17.19). Can do much better this time. SIDE EYE (4) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (22.95) at Ascot Park. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Will give a great sight again. GO PRICKLES (7) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (17.29) beating Homebush Esther in a Class 1 H on April 7 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
