MEANT TO BE (14) stretched his winning streak to six when he made a successful return in the Harness Million Final at this circuit a fortnight ago. He should only be improved by the hitout and showed his class last campaign with a string of feature victories in the Sires' Stakes and Ace of Clubs. He can add another tonight. HIGHER POWER (4) was first up for six months when he chased Meant to Be as runner up last start. There was plenty to like about that performance and he should be better for it. Could pose a challenge. HABIBTI PAT (12) made mistakes when resuming but was one of the leading fillies of last season, winning five of six starts up to G1 level and placing behind Meant To Be in the other. Fitter and worth another chance. WATERLOO STATION (13) added to a string of wins and placings when scoring last time at Addington. Must rate among the chances.
