MARKETPLACE (1) suffered a surprise defeat when runner-up as a hot favourite last time but he was having his first outing for four weeks since his Harness Million 3CG Final win at this circuit so the hitout should have topped him off for this. He is all class and the inside draw gives him every chance to atone. GOT THE CHOCOLATES (3) got one back on Marketplace when winning here last week after kicking off his campaign with a string of placings. Draws wider than Marketplace this time and that won't make it easy but he is very reliable so looks the main challenger. RUNKLE CRUNCH (2) scored his third win from as many visits to this circuit this time in when coming from a wider barrier last start. This is stronger but the good draw can see him competitive. GREASED LIGHTNIN (6) faces a class test in this line-up but he came from a similar draw to win here last start so is worth including.
