PACIFIC DIAMOND (8) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1600m at this track, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BANKER'S PAIR NINE (6) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. NORTHERN ALLIANCE (3) turned things around last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
