HELL TO PAY (8) filled yet another minor placing last time when 3 lengths adrift in third over 6¼f at Canterbury after he came from a long way back on straightening. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. STAY SILENT (12) although out of the placings last time wasn't far from the winner when fifth over 6f at Caulfield Heath. Won't find this assignment as tough. Best form puts him right in this. CARNEGIE HILL (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 7f at Kembla Grange. Will give backers a sight. ICONIFY (9) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 7¾f at Canterbury, beaten 1.2 lengths. Going up a level this time but he deserves his chance.
