Trialling nicely leading into this and can figure in the finish if the breaks go his way.  THE SILENT ASSASSIN (10) former Kiwi that did things wrong at his Australian debut when starting favourite and is worth of another chance.

OVERVIEW: THE STEEL DRAGON (10) was massive winning last start after a poor beginning and looks to have a promising future. Expect a strong showing again.

Can run well again along with the other juvenile EVILEYE (5) that is showing her share of good ability.

OVERVIEW: AMERICAN VICTORY (10) nice effort at her race debut and will be improved by that race experience and can be fighting out the finish. GERRALE (8) continues to race well without winning in recent starts and hasn’t enjoyed the best of racing luck. Drawn awkwardly again but if the breaks come her way, she will be storming home late.

PARIS JAMILLA (10) narrowly beaten last start against stronger opposition and expect a big showing. FREIGHT SHAKER (5) is a lightly raced trotter that shows good ability and should be prominent throughout and is amongst the main chances.
