Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Valadyium and Mellencamp prominent. CHOICE WITNESS (6) was a good winner 2 starts back at Muswellbrook and then stuck to her task gamely for fifth off a tough trip at Scone last time out nearly 3 weeks ago. The step up to a mile will suit her but she does cop another wide barrier and will need some early luck. She is still good enough to take this out. OUTBACK CRUMPET (11) was a beaten favourite last time out at Dubbo on a track that was heavier than she preferred. She will be peaking third up and the mile will now suit her. Stick with her and follow your money. CHARLOTTING (5) did not finish her run off as well as expected last time out but was hard up along the rails and it wasn't really the place to be that day. Her form prior is the better guide and she is expected to bounce back quickly. Each way value. MELLENCAMP (15) did not fire last start but did have a very tough run that day. He gets a big swing in the draws and if the fence is the place to be, then he should put his best hoof forward this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mellencamp each way.
