DONEGAL LUTHER (1) has come from much wider barriers in all four starts of this campaign and has placed in two of them. Worked forward to lead when third last time at Wagga so should be able to take advantage of the ace draw and will be hitting his peak now. CRAFTMANS CHARLIE (7) has been freshened since placing in his last two outings here, the latest over this distance. Draws a little wider but can measure up. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (5) has been consistent here of late, sticking on for fourth after racing wide on Tuesday. Go well on the back up. CAPTAINS CATCH (6) and ROLL UP (9) come through the same race and there wasn't much between them. Both are good enough to feature if things go their way.
