SAXON SLAYER (2) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 2.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at Murwillumbah two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. HE'S VIRAL (12) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 1m at Nanango. Open to improvement and is among the chances. IT'SALLSAIDANDONE (8) is a last-start winner over 6½f at Lismore, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a nose. In the mix. CELEBRITY'S BEAU (4) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at Coffs Harbour over 7f. Top-three prospects.
