SHINES (4) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 5½f at Canterbury. Zac Lloyd has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to run well. ICONIC TREASURE (6) found a couple better last start at Newcastle over 6½f after he was in contention on the corner. Has never been out of the money in six starts at this trip, including three wins. Facing a tougher assignment but he is right in this. DEPRIVATION (1) scored last start at Canterbury to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. CRAFTY EAGLE (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on January 27 finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 7f at Randwick. One to consider.
