|---|---|---|---|---|

MAJOR ICON (2) led from this barrier and found plenty to score by 1.6m at this circuit and distance last week. Up in grade but can push forward again so may prove be hard to catch. PROMISING (8) is working towards a win having finished less than 6 metres from the winner in second at this circuit and distance last week. Will be looking for a split from the second line and if he gets it he is a leading hope. CASSIUS DECK (9) will find this easier than the last attempt at Menangle and had been producing some decent efforts at Bathurst prior including a win four back. FIRE FOX (3) worked and locked wheels last start but draws well again so may be worth another chance.
