WAR DAN BUDDY (6) has had five weeks off since an encouraging fresh placing from the back row at Melton but was good here earlier in the year, clocking in second in the Hondo Grattan before a midfield finish from a tough draw in the Chariots of Fire. Races well at this distance and looks nicely placed. Hard to knock the consistency of HORN PLAYER (5) who has placed in all four starts since scoring from a similar barrier in this grade, including a couple of thirds at Listed level. Can be in the finish again. MAJOR PERRY (9) draws wide but has been tackling some good opposition so can measure up in this line-up. KANENA PROVLIMA (10) starts from the outside but returns off the Inter Dominion series where he placed in a heat behind Leap To Fame. NO HEART THROB (7) can measure up in this line-up.
