IRONBAR (5) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 6f147yards at Geelong. Look for another barnstorming finish. DIAMANDA (13) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a ninth at Mornington two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths last time out over 1m at Balnarring. Tianni Chapman gets the best out of this eight-year-old mare. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. REMIGIUS (4) finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f147yards at Geelong when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. Can play a big role. JAKK'S FORTUNE (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1m at this track, beaten half a length. Will be rock-hard fit. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
