FRANCO ELVIS (2) has had some tricky draws of late but has been going quite well. Wasn't too far off the placegetters in both outings since a third at this circuit and distance. Gets his chance from this draw. SEASIDE POND (4) was well down the track last time but that was a tougher assignment and he is capable of a lot better. Finds a suitable race and is fairly drawn so has winning claims. HEAVEN (5) hasn't had a lot of luck with barrier draws of late but did well to place here two back. Proven at this longer distance. Contender. ULTIMATE COUNSEL (1) is a player from the draw on the pegs.
