SON OF BIELSKI (4) has needed both of his starts back from a spell and was winning them in a row last season. He might want more ground but from a good gate, he can give this a shake. TUBTHUMPER (6) is a handy mare on her day and her form is rock solid this season. She drops back from a mile to 1200m and has won 3 times over this trip on the track. Hard to beat. POLARISING (7) is another consistent mare that won here just over 2 weeks ago in lesser company. She has 2.5kg less to carry this time and from a handy gate, she will be right in the finish again. MR CASHMAN (5) was only bloused on the line after leading up last time out in a similar field and will be the likely pacemaker in this. His fitness is building all the time and he can go one better. BON'S PRIDE (1) beat most of these last start and was rewarded with an extra 1.5kg to carry. He never lets his connections down and the hat-trick beckons. SIAKAM (2) would love to make it 10 wins on this course and can't be ruled out.
