SPEAK (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m2f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HANAFUBUKI (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4. 5 lengths when fourth in a 1m7f contest at Sandown-Hillside eight days ago. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. HOLLANDIA (5) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 2. 25 lengths over 1m4 1/2f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. REBADGE (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1m4 1/4f at Geelong after he was well back on straightening. Can fill a top-three spot.
