CHICAGO KING (3) finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Seymour after being prominent at the turn when fresh from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. The testing material. MICKIDAMUZZ (1) settled back but wound up late to finish fourth when resuming last start over 6¼f at Geelong. Expected to feature in the finish. DISTANT DREAM (8) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 7f at Sale on December 22. Worth including in this suitable contest. FORT LARAMIE (5) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Yarra Valley, beaten 5 lengths into ninth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
