Expecting Bundaberg to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. Plenty of win chances but hard to go past AMERICAN ESCAPE (1). Finished eighth in town last time beaten only a few lengths and will find this far easier. Has a great record this circuit winning two of three and rates the one to beat on last run. ROMMEL'S GODDESS (6) resumed from a break stalking the pace and ran over the top with a dominant win. Has placed 2/3 here and fitter again. Looks tough to stop again. BUNDABERG (8) resumes from a break and is a fresh-up winner. Looks very well weighted with the claim and bold return expected. BILL SELECTS (9) ran on hard to score last time and is another down in the weights with the claim. HYPERREAL (3) has been knocking on the door with a string of close-up efforts and rates one of the better chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: American Escape gets chance.
