AIMING (6) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing fourth at Sandown-Hillside and beaten 2 lengths. Will find this easier than last start. Well placed so expecting a strong run. MAXXI BON (13) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 7f29yards at this track. In the money at each of his runs over this longer journey. Among the leading chances. NORTHERN BARRAGE (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at Geelong, finishing third and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1m1/2f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NORMA'S FLEET (18) turned in an eye-catching run last time out over 1m3/4f at this track, charging home from well back to finish half a length away in second. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from five starts. One of the fringe hopes.
