FIOREEN (10) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1m at Pakenham. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CEREMONIOUS (6) is near a win after three minor placings in a row, the latest a close second over 7f124yards at Moonee Valley when he was always up in the leading division. Tackling a more suitable race so he is one of the main contenders. MARLIN (2) is yet to break through in nine runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1m2 1/2f at Stony Creek on February 6. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. SUBARCTIC (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth at his latest appearance over 1m1 1/4f at Newcastle. Rates well on best figures and is worth including.
