HOT DEAL (7) came from this row when he scored at Geelong two starts ago before tackling a strong line-up last time at Melton. Goes very well at this circuit and distance with four wins and two placings from seven attempts. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he get the gaps looks hard to stop. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (2) will be fitter for an encouraging return after nearly three months when third here last week. Should enjoy an economical run from this lower draw and he has only once missed a place in 10 tries at this shorter distance, winning four of them. ALL DA RAGE (6) had to work hard in SA last time but did a good job to place from the back row here prior. KEAYANG MOROCCAN (5) was racing consistently before a spell of nine weeks. Proven fresh and was readied with a trial placing so must be respected.
