DEVASTATING (6) grows a leg for rider Maloney who has two wins and five placings from just ten steers and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Has only missed a drum once in seven attempts over this course and distance and looks well placed to return to the winners' stall. BRAVELY (8) came back in good order with a solid Doomben victory and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. ACTION KING (2) will be much better with that first-up run out of the way and can feature in a competitive affair. INVINOVICH (5) gets 3kg off from the low draw and cannot be underestimated.
