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

BLAZING KNUCKLES (7) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 60 metres into ninth at Addington over 1980m. Has to contend with another very wide draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. PARTY UP DENARIO (8) resumes from a spell of seven months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1700m at Gore Raceway. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Well-placed to take this out. BLUE DRAGON (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 2400m. Hard to find fault. GINERVA (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.
