CINNAMON (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1980m at Tamworth. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. FRANCO STYLES (7) scored at Newcastle two runs ago before having his colours lowered when third at his latest appearance over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 15 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Primary contender if anywhere near his best. TONYS DREAM (10) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished a distant last over 1609m at Newcastle. No favours expected from this draw. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back. TRY CATCHING ME (9) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at Tamworth over 1980m.
