CARTOON GRAVEYARD (5) hasn't been far off a win, the latest finishing fourth over 1m in the LR Tasmanian Stakes at Hobart, and is down significantly in the weights this time. Meets easier opposition this time. Should be in the finish. ASHY BOY (6) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 5 lengths when eighth in a 1m1/4f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Worth noting Craig Newitt goes aboard. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. KALIUWAA FALLS (3) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m at Hobart a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey. Will find this easier than last start. Has winning claims. ASVA (7) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
