DO IT (4) was an impressive winner last start over 2200m at this track, getting home by 8 metres. Drawn well so has a great chance to score again. CUZZY BRO (5) is looking for black-type success after suffering a defeat last time out a much weaker race over 2200m at this track, arriving 11 metres behind the winner. Quality performer who is a genuine danger. SMOOTH MACHETE (6) could only manage seventh last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 30 metres. Sure to prove hard to beat. SERIOUSLY SAM (8) comes here fresh from a second two weeks ago over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Looms as a serious challenger.
