LITTLELIONELJAMES (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 18 metres at this track over 1780m after doing work in the run. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. BLACKJACK BART (9) was out of the money last start when sixth over 2138m at Albion Park when he settled in the middle of the field on the fence. Best form reference might be his win at this track four starts back. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Big chance if he gets the right breaks. ROCK NIEN (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1780m at this track. QUIK CHANGE (3) disappointed last time when seventh over 1780m at this track. Can bounce back.
