THUNDERING SOUL (1) loomed to win last start and faces a similar assignment albeit as an away game. Acts in all type of ground but still asked to carry big lead. Can go one better. SCORCHED LANE (3) brings upside interstate form from just five starts and two recent trials should have him primed up. Low draw gives him every chance of a first-up crush. TELLING (9) has been close up in both starts since a spell, placing fresh then hitting the line strongly last time. The extra 100m looks to be in his favour and he should be close to hitting peak fitness now. SONOFDEC (2) could be best of the other two.
