STEEL RULER (8) looks close to a win after coming from this barrier to place in the last two outings, the most recent at this circuit and distance last week. Should enjoy a nice trail and looks a big chance to break through. AMPHIJET (7) had put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds before delivering by 4.7m last week. Draws wider but that victory took his record at this circuit and distance to two wins and a placing from four attempts so must rate highly. GIVE DAVE A WAVE (3) wasn't far from the placegetters last week and was good when runner-up at Melton prior. Draws to play a role. PLATINUM JIVE (5) goes up in grade but the recent consistency is hard to knock, adding to a string of top-three finishes when scoring at Kilmore last week.
