Expecting Redwinelover to take up the running with Lotto Fight and Storm The Fortress close at hand. BANGERANG REDBACK (1) rarely finishes too far away from the action. Drops back in trip off 33-day freshen after narrowly missing here last start. Expect him to settle midfield and be right there again at the business end. LASTAR (4) never rolled over last start at Clare when beaten less than a length. That effort stacks right up for this and he holds genuine appeal on short turnaround. GILDED AGE (5) was a determined winner when resuming at Strathalbyn in a hot maiden. Has been mixing his form subsequently but rates highly on best figures. Don't dismiss. Similar story for REDWINELOVER (6). Deserves to be included in chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bangerang Redback.
