Putting the frustrations of his past three starts aside, AJAY VOLSTEAD (2) was back in winning form last week when stepping cleanly off the front tape, taking control and denying the chasers with a 26.8 closing panel to score. A return to mobile conditions can see him chase consecutive victories.

GET USED TO IT (3) was on a six-run streak of finishing in the top three when missing a cheque two starts back, despite being under 5m from the winner. Sitting parked after moving forward from the 20m tape last week, the effort was strong in grabbing silver behind AJAY VOLSTEAD. With good arm hustle, he can get forward to challenge,

GOLDEN SUNSET (6) returns from a let up following her last start victory in the Christmas Cup when overcoming a 10m handicap. Runner-up to GUS back five runs back when leading from gate 4, she is in the mix.

NOT AS PROMISED (8) made an error here last week when returning from a spell and starting from the 20m tape. Claiming the mile track record two starts back, he has second line options and cannot be ignored.

SELECTIONS: AJAY VOLSTEAD (2), GET USED TO IT (3), GOLDEN SUNSET (6), NOT AS PROMISED (8)
SUGGESTED BET: AJAY VOLSTEAD (2) to win
