BARAZIN (1) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Randwick Kensington with success over 1m1 1/2f at Canterbury two weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the ability to figure prominently. SMART ACTION (6) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2 lengths victory over 1m at Doomben two weeks ago. Has a formidable combination with Tahlia Fenlon who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be involved in the finish. ICHIBAN (10) was a winner over 1m1/4f at Doomben last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1.3 lengths. James Orman who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.
