GOLDEN SUNSET (9) continues to race well having recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Overcame handicap starts to win here twice in a row and has only gone under by a head against better opposition in both outings since. Looks well placed. HAMMER SON (5) must rate highly after he overcame a 30m handicap to win by 2m here last week. NORTIE NORTIE (4) hasn't been far away of late and should be at peak fitness now. BENJI HALL (6) is in the mix after finishing 3m away in fourth here last time out.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Love Gun at this track over 2138m in a NR up to 70 on January 14 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Hammer Son at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 70 on January 21 at $13. Rates highly. Top chance in this line-up.
