Track: GOOD      

GOLDEN LODE (9) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, placing in the Christmas Gift when last seen to follow back-to-back wins here. Cops a wide draw for his return but has yet to miss a place when fresh. MENEMSHA (5) has produced some decent efforts since a fresh win here last month, chasing a Nullarbor contender when runner-up two back before a fourth from a wider barrier last time. Major player. PAUL EDWARD (6) will find this easier than the last attempt and managed a win at this venue earlier in the campaign. ROLLING FIRE (8) has had nothing go to plan so far this campaign, racing wide fresh and breaking last start. Capable of much better.
