Gutsy Way has enough early dash to utilise the low draw and lead the running. DAMAGED (6) returns and makes his stable debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Had shown ability back in NSW and gets his chance to break a long run of outs in a most suitable assignment. Bold showing anticipated. FREE BEER (4) caught the eye last start at Bordertown when flashing home into the placings. Drawn much more favourably this time and is aided at the weights with the 1.5kg claimer engaged. Is right up to this. SANTASTICO (1) was another that finished off strongly into the frame last time out. Will appreciate the drop in grade and gets a 3kg claimer on to help out under the big weight. In the mix. MERCHANT BOSS (2) returns. Didn't make an impact last time in but did show good form the campaign prior. Willing to give another chance on best figures. MR WHITACRE (14) also returns and has finished in the placings at both attempts at this track and trip. Worked well to the line in his lead-up trial and a forward showing is anticipated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Damaged first-up.
