DIO (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 6 lengths when ninth over 5f at Seymour two weeks ago. Worth noting Ms Dakotah Keane goes aboard. Has the talent to take this out. CLOCK STRIKES (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Pakenham with a win as favourite over 5f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. No reason he cannot salute again. HYDRO STAR (4) was safely held when fifth last time out over 5f at Seymour, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at Cranbourne at the previous outing. The engagement of Jamie Mott is a positive move. Has the class to return to the winner's list. HISSY FIT (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Mornington, beaten 4 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
