Himeros should spear straight to the front of the small field. In a plain affair FRANKIE'S SHOUT (3) looks a great chance to return to winning ways. Not disgraced two back in a Country Championship qualifier at Dubbo then made late ground over 1300m at Hawkesbury last time. Either of those performances would be good enough to take this out. WALK THE PIER (2) picked up late to grab third when resuming in a Class 2 over 1300m at Canberra last time out. Scored a big win at Moruya last prep over a similar trip to this. Strips fitter and poses a genuine threat. OMNIC (1) struggled first-up at Goulburn but he is not a noted fresh performer. Competitive at the provincials last prep so with that run under the belt he can play a key role against this line-up. PROCLIVITY (5) is in the mix coming off a one-month let-up with just 53kgs on his back. Hard to make a case for the other runners, headed HIMEROS (9) on a seven-day back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Frankie's Shout.
