|---|---|---|---|---|

TIME TO DANCE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth in a higher-graded race at Goulburn. Likely to get all the favours from the inside draw. UPSTREAM (4) turned in a much better effort last start when he came from the back row to go under narrowly when third at this venue. First try at this longer distance but suited returning to the front line. HELENS BOY (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this venue. Genuine threat aided by a good draw. MAC THUNDER (3) can be competitive from a favourable draw.
