BARRON (1) is yet to break through in 17 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed in a then was 3.5 lengths away in fifth over 5f at Grafton last time. Capable of sharp improvement and can get off the mark. HERE'S MASON (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when tenth in a 6½f contest at Ballina six weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he will be hard to beat. MAGICAL EYE (7) strode forward early from her wide draw over 5f at Grafton last time before fading to finish tenth. Can bounce back. LITTLE IFFY (12) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 6 lengths when eighth over 5½f at Beaudesert. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
