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

Lots of speed predominantly from King's Ransom, Tuscan Gold and Silvonian. CAPTAIN TIK TOK (10) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep four months ago. Craig Zackey stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Among the leading chances. IMPACT INVESTOR (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at Kenilworth, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. MY AMI BEACH (9) finished ninth two runs back at Fairview All Weather then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. SILVONIAN (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Fairview All Weather over 1100m on November 22. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
