PUSHALOT (9) Canberra-trained mare due for a change of luck after finishing in the minor money at her last three outings. Looks well in at the weights with the claim and finally drawn a decent gate. The one to beat. AIR COMBAT (8) resumes here without a trial after mixing his form last time in. Will sit off the hot tempo from the wide gate and look for him late. Each way. STARANE (1) returned to form at his last two outings and carries the big weights well. Just under a month between runs when a plugging eighth over the 1280m at Orange in BM66 grade on January 10. Fitter now and stays in the calculations in this easier contest. PAHANG (12) will appreciate the big drop in weight in this tougher event and goes into the exotics at good odds.
