SECRET TREASURE (3) was in contention on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIDNIGHT ONYX (2) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at this track when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the A Pecoraro stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RUSSIAN HAMMER (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just four times from 53 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1609m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. HEAT ALERT (5) finished 16 lengths behind the winner in sixth place when resuming over 1106m last start at this track (Dirt). Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Should be much improved.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last in a small field at this track on July 8 over 1106m, 16 len behind Double Edge Sword with 55.5kg at $21.10. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Penn National on October 30 over 1673m, 13 len behind Runningforjoy with 55kg at $10. Should progress from that first-up run.
