OVERVIEW: FIGHTER COMMAND (11) is returning from a Sydney campaign, where he was unplaced twice against strong opposition at Menangle. He won a trial at Melton last week and he smashed the track record when he won the Beautide in Tasmania last season so he must be respected. DRAW A DREAM (6) was resuming since October when she overcame a tough run and scored over Scheming at Melton. She should be fitter from that run and boasts the record of 9 wins from just 13 starts so she is capable of taking the next step forward. RAGING WHITEBAIT (9) finished off fast for an eye-catching fifth at Melton last week. His form prior was very strong and he is worth thought again. SMOKEN ACE (5), OPERATIVE LINE (7) and TIGER BAND WAGON (12) are all capable of showing up without surprising. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 1,5,6,7 RATINGS: 11/ 6/ 9/ 5,7,12/ 1
