SAHARA SEAKRET (8) is a gelding by Downbytheseaside on debut for a good trainer in Russell Jack. Has been close-up in his two most recent trials. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Anticipating a bright start to his career. STORM VENDETTA (6) has been racing well of late. Kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placings before he finished fourth at his latest appearance at Ballarat, beaten 4.5 metres after drawing on the back row and racing wide in the latter stages. Race fit and with even luck if good enough to take out a race like this. USUAL SUSPECT (4) is a gelding by leading sire Art Major on debut for Darren Pace. Has been readied with a series of nice trials so should be ready to go. SIZZLE ORO (9) improved for fourth at his most recent appearance at Ballarat and has scope for further progression.
