SURE THING (4) returned from a lay-off seven weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 6½f at Echuca. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE AMBASSADOR (8) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at Pakenham Synthetic over 7f, beaten 3.5 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. CHEERS (9) is a four-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at Pakenham Synthetic over 7f last time out after he worked home well. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. POLISH POWER (7) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Geelong over 7f122yards, beaten 7 lengths. Don't underestimate.
