MARTINI NIGHTS (7) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 5.5 lengths 4th at Maitland (22.69). Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can atone. SNAKE SURVIVER (4) dropped out and failed to finish at Bulli last time but prior to that was a 22.47 winner in a Maiden. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. JUST BRAXTON (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (30.85) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park. Worth another chance. CURIOUS TEARS (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Latest effort finished 7th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 9 lengths (30.85) behind Missile Boy in a Grade 5 on February 21. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.28) in a Grade 5, finishing a 20 length seventh. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Others rate better this time.

After failing to finish two starts back he came out and won by 1.5 lengths at this track (30.13) beating King Canelo in a Maiden on January 4. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
