VALENKI (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 3. 5 lengths, at this track over 5f. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. HELLISH (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0. 8 lengths when fourth over 5f at this track a week ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. LEAN EAGLE (4) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 5½f at Mackay. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Nicely placed to take this out. TAMBO'S JUSTICE (6) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at this track. Has recorded two wins when when resuming from a break. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
