PRESTIGE ICE (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1. 1 lengths when sixth in a 1m1f contest at Gold Coast four weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. MR VILLA (13) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a long neck from the winner in second over 1m1f at Port Macquarie after being in the firing line on the turn. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. STROBING (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1. 5 lengths over 1m1f at Port Macquarie after being in the firing line on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. GAVIN (4) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a second over 1m at Ballina four weeks ago. Genuine performer so he is sure to make his presence felt.
