NAMBITI (3) is going well this preparation, including a last start win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to bring up two wins from four runs in the campaign. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from seven starts. Leading contender. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (4) has been freshened up since a disappointing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. WEEKEND BUZZ (7) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SOCIAL HISTORY (5) improved last start to finish third over 1207m at this track. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
