RACE COMMENT
Faced with the outside second line gate last week at the 2138m trip, ELLIS STREET (4) was wide off the track trying to get into the contest. Fighting hard but unable to grab a minor, he was 6m from the winner CHECKNOUTTHETALENT. A return to the front line is a big plus for this. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (1) has ticked over 12 months since his last victory, but is never far from the action, boasting a 50% strike rate of hitting the board. Wide gates have stung in recent starts and with the mapping benefits here, he can bring some winning rains to break the drought. IN EXCESS (8) will be requiring a slice of luck at some stage to find space with the risk of being buried form this gate. Runner-up at his past two starts, if the gaps arrive, he is up to the task. OUR INDIFFERENCE (5) started from gate seven last time out when eased to find running line position. Making a late raid to grab the bronze, positioning cheaply will be the key to his hopes.
