CANTFINDABETTORMAN (5) impressed when successful at Riverina Paceway two runs ago, then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at his latest appearance over 2240m at this track, beaten 7 metres into seventh. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. RAKERO REBEL (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at her latest appearance over 2240m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she can find winning ways. YOUNG BLUEY (11) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2240m at this track. Should run a big race. FIGHTER COMMAND (7) must be included after winning his past two starts, the latest at Menangle six weeks ago. Each way value.
