SMOKIN EMPIRE (1) First up after a break. Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last time at this venue and has minimal work to do from the gate. Won't be far away. FLYONBYE (7) Picked up late ground when 2nd last run at this venue but back to a shorter distance. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. HOWSITGOINOWEN (5) Gave a strong sight when 2nd last start at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Must be considered. SLAYSTER (4) Michael P De Paulo 4yo first starter by Speightster. Watch the market.

Resuming after a spell. Good result placing 3rd beaten by more than 7L last time at this venue and has drawn to do little work. Should progress and will be close.

Rattled home nicely into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Has a good draw. Back to a shorter trip. Best to watch and see.

First up after a 33 week break. Started at $7.00 and didn't find the line when 5th last run at the track and coming back in trip. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Odds of $5.50 and average at best when 6th last time here. May find these too slick.
