VEGAS ON FIRE (11) was in the money two starts back at Seymour but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 11th, beaten 18 lengths, at Ballarat Synthetic over 7½f. Finds a nice race and can atone. NO NEW TRICKS (5) gets out over more ground. On the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a fourth over 7f at sale. Won't find this as tough. Among the leading chances in this company. RISHIRI (7) did a good job last start to finish third at Pakenham Synthetic over 7f, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Won't find this as tough. Sure to be competitive. KYOKUSHIN (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Sale, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter so a likely improver.
