LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (2) has been below best and missed the frame last couple, finishing 7th (24.74) last time in a T3 RSTW at this track. Has won here at this journey. Can atone. MIGHTY STAR (6) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (25.98) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Shepparton latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can find the frame this time. KRAKEN NUTTER (8) drifted back from wide but charged home to hit the frame when 4 lengths from the winner (24.86) at this track in T3 RSTW. Will give a great sight again. ASK NICELY (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
