DREAMSTONE (5) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1m2f at Seymour, an improvement on her sixth at Wodonga the run before. The engagement of Amy O'driscoll is a positive move. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MARKS ICON (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1m1f at Bathurst, getting home by 0.6 lengths. Winning rider Louise Day retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ASHAU VALLEY (2) is going well this campaign, including a last start win over 1m at Albury to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Looks suited by the extra ground now. Rates among the main hopes on best. CELNADO (6) improved sharply last time out to score by a long neck over 1m at Wangaratta a week-and-a-half ago. Likely to be there at the finish again.
