Stake: $2,689

OVERRIDING (2) has a strong overall record having seven wins and seven places from 19 starts but was out of the money last time when eighth (20.84) over 350m at Grafton. Has a strong record from this draw. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. CRANKY CRUISER (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 14 times for six wins and four minors. Scored by 5.5 lengths last time (22.84) in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. SOLAR RUSH (6) hit the frame latest (23.40) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. FAT BOY'S CHARM (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3.5 lengths fourth (23.19) over 400m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 5.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 22.84 over the 400m trip. In form and looks tough to beat again.
