HELL MARCH (2) was a massive firmer from 1.5 to 1.18 last start over 1100m at Murwillumbah, but punters left it in the bag when he couldn't catch the leader. Strips fitter today at the third run back. Expect he can get the job done this time. PLATINUM GIFT (3) appeared for the first time in fifty-three days when a distant fourth over this trip at the Sunshine Coast last time out. Will tighten up in condition and won't find this is tough so watch for a much better performance. ZOUKING (4) was a notable drifter on debut recently over 900m at Muswellbrook but gave a good account, leading for home before being nailed late. Has a wide alley to contend with but should be competitive again. HOMELAND (1) has switched stables and returns from a 227-day break. Needs more ground but could surprise while fresh. Locally trained first starter
