FRENCH MARINE (1) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when eighth in a 6f contest at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TREASURER (9) is racing well. Scored at Gosford in a then finished third, beaten 0.7 lengths, over 6f at Kembla Grange at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. GOLD CARD (2) booted up from the inside draw to race on the speed only to be claimed late and finish 2.5 lengths away in fifth last start over 6¼f at Canterbury. Will push forward and is among the chances. FIRE STAR (3) wasn't far away last time when second at Wyong and has the blinkers added this time. Won only start at this longer journey and gets chance to show best.
