NORDIC STRIKE (3) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Jabez Johnstone has registered two minor placings when on board. Among the leading chances. MR ASSERTIVE (4) last appeared on February 20 when a good fifth over 5½f at Seymour, beaten 3 lengths. Has found a suitable race. BLISS BOMB (11) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Ballarat Synthetic but couldn't back it up last start when tenth, beaten 9 lengths, over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. NICEREINE (8) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 5f at Sale when resuming from a lay-off, beaten a nose. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
