DANCING DUCK (5) finished fourth last time out over 1m2 1/2f at Benalla, beaten 7 lengths. This looks an ideal assignment. QUEEN OF TAYRONA (9) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into second over 1m1/2f at Geelong. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. IVA MISSION (1) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was never in contention last start when 9 lengths away in ninth over 1m2f at Ballarat. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FOREST DIAMOND (11) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1m1/2f at Geelong, finishing third and beaten a long neck. Nicely placed to run well.
