SPEAKER OF PEACE (5) turned in another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. TOBINS CHESTER (4) finished fourth at this track last time. Consistent performer whose best form stacks up favourably so he must be included. FUNATTHEBEACH N (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: OPTICAL ILLUSION N (8)
