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

BENNIE AND THE JETS (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 3.5 metres at Bendigo over 1650m. Steps up a level but with the advantage of the pole position, he is good enough to cope. HATCHBACK (9) ran seventh last start at this track over 1720m, beaten 24 metres. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. ZAREM (8) resumes. Last appeared when a modest effort over 2760m at this track ten weeks ago. With a quick beginning, he can make his presence felt. TRIPOD (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1720m at this track last time out. Use the market as your best guide.
