Without frontrunners engaged Bassett's Choice gets the chance to lead. BASSETT'S CHOICE (7) disappointed at Eagle Farm but turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1420m at Grafton after being in contention on the corner. Uses the rail and has the talent to find the winners' list. CRYSTAL GARDEN (8) was prominent into the straight but couldn't go on with it, finishing fourth over 1400m at Gold Coast. Better placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break through. WE DO REMEMBER (10) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1120m at Lismore but wasn't all that far from the winner. Back-marker who keeps coming. Has the blinkers on again and she's among the main hopes. FOXTROTTING (2) has the blinkers on for the first time and consider his chances on his 2.4L defeat at Warwick on debut. MULLED (1) debuts and may prove best of the remainder. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Bassett's Choice.
