GATOR (13) drifted back and never threatened when ninth last start over 5f at Cranbourne. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around. PLATINUM FIELD (2) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 6f at this track. Has race fitness on his side now. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. STARLACCA (8) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten a long neck, over 6f at this track. Well placed and is among the chances. ACCENDING (3) was prominent at the turn but failed to live up to expectations over 5f at Sale last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
