HOLDING CAPTIVE (5) led into the straight last start over 6½f at Seymour on a soft ground but could not sustain the pressure and finished seventh. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Leading contender. SOUND SYSTEM (14) hasn't raced since filling a minor placing at Geelong over 6f122yards a month ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Caulfield Heath. Among the chances and expected to feature. BRAZEN WARRIOR (1) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 7f at Warrnambool. Has trialled three times leading into this. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. CONISTON SPICE (10) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 6½f at Swan Hill, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid prospects.
