HELPISONIT Set Weights AY (15) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 6½f at Bathurst. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. RASLOC (14) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 5½f here last time. Will take catching. LUSKIN VAIN (3) finished third last start over 6f87yards at Orange, beaten 0.7 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. DAFFERS (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 5½f at Narromine. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
