ELROND (2) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing third over 6¾f at Doomben. Likely to feature. HE'SGOTTHESAY (4) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. A neck from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1m1/4f at Ipswich. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TARAVIA (6) is a first-starter by Tarzino who was an AUD $ 100,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Gold Coast National Yearling Sale) purchase. Placed in a recent trial. Can measure up. BLACK ASSASSIN (1) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten just 1.5 lengths. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
