MIKI BE GOOD (1) is a progressive gelding who placed fresh at Goulburn before he was forced to work hard and dropped out last time. Should be near peak fitness now and is aided by the ace draw so deserves another chance. BALTUSROL (5) is a progressive gelding who has won three of his last four starts, two of them at this circuit. Hasn't raced for two months but has trialled nicely and goes well at this distance, winning four of six attempts. POWER UP (4) won from this barrier here three back and has been good since, last time working from a back row draw for fourth at Penrith. Must be included. OUR UNCLE JIM (8) draws wide but must be considered after he finished runner-up here a week ago, beaten less than 2m after racing three wide without cover.
