KISSMELVIS (6) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by 11 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. DOUBLE LINES (9) finished runner-up at his most recent outing, beaten a nose, in a nice return to form at this circuit over 1609m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. STICK MAN (2) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m here. Worth another chance from the low draw. SHADOW ECLIPSE (5) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 6 metres away in seventh over 1609m at this venue. Live chance in a similar assignment.
