November Falls should spear straight to the front of the small field. NOVEMBER FALLS (4) fought on well at this track and trip last start. Finds a low-risk draw with race fitness in his favour. On a wet track can notch up an overdue win. Will get few better chances to break back into the winners circle. FLYING STEP (10) loves it wet and has been placed at his past two starts. With a cute draw he looms as the biggest threat to the selection. BINKOU (3) is a hard horse to catch but races well at this track and trip. Going to be around the mark with GENERAL SOHO (2). SUGGESTED PLAY: Looks the day for November Falls.
