LEDECKY'S DREAM (12) is back from a short spell but will have residual fitness and the 1200m is her best trip. She's still very lightly raced with just 8 starts but has shown good talent in that time. She gets in well under the conditions of this race and looks a big chance. VIENNA VIXEN (11) is racing well this time in, running second at her past two efforts. She has a strong overall record and will be hard to hold out down the outside. CHESTER WARRIOR (7) won narrowly first up before struggling in tough conditions at Ballarat in a stronger race. Much better suited here, expect he bounces back. MISS ICELANDIC (10) has run third in all three runs this campaign and must be considered a good each-way hope again. EMPRESSIVE ENUFF (13) was poor last time up in grade but his form prior is solid for this.
