BEHIND THE STORM (10) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 3 lengths away in sixth at Scone. Capable of overwhelming this field late in proceedings. JESSANDI (12) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when eighth in a 1m1/2f contest at Scone two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. CASINO STAGE (13) tackled the mile for the first time last start at Scone and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he finished out of the placings. Tackling tougher opposition but should be competitive. IT'S A WONDER (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1m at Wagga, beaten only 0.9 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
