They should roll along at a decent clip. DEVIL A SAINT (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nearing a win and will take catching off the low draw. MELA STRENGTH (5) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago as $3.8 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be tough to hold out. THE NIGHT FERRY (7) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark six runs back, the latest effort a second over 1800m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. GOLD INDEX (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
