AICHI ICON (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Hawkesbury, beaten 4.5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. BALLINDERRY SAL (5) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5.5 lengths away in 11th last time out over 7f at Rosehill four weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Will find this much easier. Well placed and sure to run well. LAST STRAW (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1m at Canberra after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. When resuming over 6½f at bathurst, beaten 9 lengths. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
