COMIC HERO (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Ballarat, beaten 3 lengths into eighth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EXCENIA (11) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed when resuming last start then stuck on well to finish a nose away in second over 5f136yards at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves her chance. Set Weights IFT CIRCLE (12) drifted back then made late ground to finish sixth when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Ballarat. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Will drift back but wind up late. One of the contenders. MAXIMUM POWER (6) showed good speed here last time over 5f136yards and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths. Liam Riordan who has three wins when partnering stays on. Solid claims on best form.
