The picket fence extended last start to five for the airborne CHEERSTOLOU (2) who stepped up to open company and produced a 53.3 close out from the front. 52.9 was the last 800 start prior as he blazes a trail towards a potential NSW campaign. With the speed to lead, he can make an undeniable case for inclusion in Southern features.

TURN IT UP (9) showed that there is still some speed in the old legs when darting through on the passing lane here last week to grab the silver behind DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Chasing home for third the start prior, he can look for the soft trip here and look to zip past the chasers.

MULLUM HANK (3) was locked away on the fence last time out and never spotted an opening until it was too late. Charging through late to still be just a neck astern of victory, the start prior he completed a hat-trick and can feature again here.

FOR REAL LIFE (4) was second up last start when eased from the gate and hitting the line in nice order to be under 4m from the winner IM THE FALCON. Added fitness will assist his claims.
