On pace runners, 1, 2, 4, 6. VAN HOVEN was competing in blinkers for the first time when he was too good for all except the odds-on favourite here last start. He now has scope to improve at only start number three in his first campaign. BUONGIORNO shouldn't be harshly judged for a Wyong defeat when there were excuses within this distance range last start. The addition of winkers can aid his cause this afternoon. KIVISKA started at double-figure odds when he did all but win at Hawkesbury and he was produced in very similar class on that day. NOMADIC struck traffic problems at Newcastle last start and his unplaced effort should be overlooked.
