SNOW ROAD (1) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 8 lengths at Geelong (26.59). Won at her only start from this box. Has ability and looks hard to stop. HONEY STIRRER (4) showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Ballarat over 450m in 25.26, claiming a Grade 7 by half a length. Must be included in calculations. KIAH'S RUFUS (5) missed the frame latest when sixth at Sale (25.13) but scored four back at Sale (24.82). Leading chance. MIGHTY MIKADO (8) looks an each-way chance.

Last start finished 4th on February 27 over 460m at Geelong behind Deep Thinker beaten 8 lengths (26.59) in a Mix 6/7. Should be right in the finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Warragul. Likely to struggle this time.

Strong performance to score by a half a length in a Grade 7 last start at Ballarat, recording a useful 25.26 over the 450m journey. In form and rates on top again.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 6th on March 4 over 435m at Sale behind Jovial Gem beaten 4 lengths (25.13) in a T3 RSTW. Well placed and among the chances here.
