BLUE CABANG (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (28.29) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Form here sound including three wins. Worth another chance. CRACKERJACK BULL (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (34.76) at The Meadows. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can feature again. BRANDENBURG (2) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (22.57) at Warrnambool. Key runner on best form. NINETEEN CRIMES (6) won last start after racing on the pace. Must be respected.
