MR. PERSUADER (2) is a promising type who notched his 3rd career success when too good (22.69) at Geelong last time. Can make it back-to-back wins. ANGRY CHIEF (3) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (26.05) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of six starts. Key player if finds best. BLAME SPENCER (1) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 2.5 lengths (22.88) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. ULTIMO (7) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Missed the frame latest (23.63) when sixth over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Among the chances on best.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed at big odds over 410m at Horsham. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
