EASY ANSWER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 12 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track six weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. GIFTEDBYDESIGN (4) gave away a considerable start over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Will drift back but will be getting home hard. WESTHAMPTON (7) turned in a moderate midfield finish when resuming from a spell five weeks ago over 1710m at this track (Turf). Backmarker who gets home hard. Should be competitive. SPONGE TIME (1) came home powerfully and got up for third over today's trip at this track (Synthetic) last start. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and cannot be taken lightly.
