Not expecting them to go too hard. HARD BOB (3) stepped up to 2000m for the first time this prep last campaign and only narrowly went down. With the benefit of that run, the inside alley and Dean Yendall aboard, he will never get a better chance to break through. DANZAGRUNT (6) was comfortably held by Hard Bob last start but only found one better the start prior and should be at peak fitness after three runs back. DOLLAR BUCKS (2) has had more than enough chances - 46 to be exact - but can pull out a run so needs to be considered a place chance. ADJUDICATE (5) showed improvement up in trip last start and should be further aided the extra distance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard Bob straight out.
