VALDIVIA (8) turned things around last start and scored by a nose over 2000m at this track. Has his share of ability, and the extra 410m won't be a problem now that he is rock-hard fit. Go again. THUNDERING (4) was a solid fourth last start over 2410m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Perfectly placed third up, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. MAX MAYHEM (1) finished sixth two runs back and then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Each way value. COSMIC DESERT (5) turned things around last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1800m at this track. He steps up 610m and can secure the right run early on from the perfect inside draw. He has 2.5kg less to carry this time, and another win would not shock.
