ASCEND ECSTATIC (7) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.4 lengths (34.55) behind Mepunga Donna at The Meadows.

TRIPPED OUT (8) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Warragul over 460m behind Storm Hustler (26.38) in a Special conditions H. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Should play a prominent role. HE'S MAGIC (5) was below best last time when sixth at this track but prior to that was a Free For All winner in the quickest time on the card at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. FLASH OF GENIUS (1) placed last time (29.78) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths.
