HOT WINGS (2) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten a head, over 6f at this track. Should be winding up late again. ONNAMUSHA (7) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 5½f at Bendigo a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey. Right in the mix. THE PRAYER (17) finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Leading hope. ICHIBERU (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 6f at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
