MCKEEVER disappointed last time but the drop back to 1000m wasn't ideal. Forgive that run and go on his easy win when resuming. LAVA LAD won four in a row before finishing fifth behind Jamrock last time. He rises in grade today but will carry 55.5kg after Sophie Potter's claim. OVERSTRIKE raced on the pace at his first local run but was swamped late. He's likely to have taken benefit from the hitout. WARM BREEZE won his maiden when first up last preparation. Formerly trained by Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor, the 6yo is now with Dunn & Bishop. HEY MICHAEL and GEORGIEGINA are other hopes.
