MESSAGE BANK (5) drew wide once again last start and failed to feature, beaten 23 metres into seventh at Menangle over 1609m. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. EBONY KARALTA (1) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Finished win at Riverina Paceway two starts back then did a great job at his latest appearance over 1740m at at the same circuit, beaten 6 metres into third after being on the speed throughout. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. TIME TO DANCE (2) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1730m at Bathurst five days ago. MAC THUNDER (3) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Bathurst over 1730m.
