HEZA GUN (1) made a nice return at his latest appearance six days ago, finishing 2 metres away in second over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at Shepparton. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is fitter for that last hit-out and capable of making his presence felt. ALDEBARAN RUBY (3) ran fourth last start at Bathurst over 1 ¹⁄₁₆m, beaten 30 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. MIDNIGHT EAGLE (2) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at Shepparton. Each way value. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (6) broke last start and finished fifth over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at Maryborough in an unfortunate start to this campaign. Stick with him.
