CAPTAIN ELECTRIC (2) turned in a nice effort last time out when he got the prize on the flat over 3600m at Bendigo. Takes on the jumps for the first time but is from one of the state's premier jumps yards and has had a couple of trials and the Heavy track is right up his alley. ARDAKAN (1) finished fourth two runs ago in a hurdle at Casterton. Bounced back last time when he grabbed second at this track. Will thereabouts once more. GRIPPING (4) last raced when he was beaten 9 lengths into fourth over 2100m on the flat at Sandown-Lakeside four weeks ago. Tackles the jumps for the first time. Sure to make his presence felt. TEEWATERS (7) is back to the hurdles after a steeplechase run last start and while he was a never a factor there, it was only his second run since August so he will have taken good benefit from it and can improve. Similar story with CHRISTMAS (3), who's had three runs back and can sneak into the placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Electric to win.
