HONOS MAN (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ECOLOGIST (3) was a strong winner last time over 1m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by half a length to make it two on end. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. HEAT N REHEAT (7) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 1m at Turf Paradise (Dirt), scoring by 2 lengths. Has been given a let-up of five-and-a-half weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and he is a major player again. DRUIDIC (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 2.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1m1/2f at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
