BANKSMAN (6) has a strong record this journey here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Missed the frame latest (17.24) when fourth over 275m at this track in a OR. Makes strong appeal on best. DROOPYS FREEBIE (3) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last four starts, the latest at this track in 17.06. Goes well from this trap. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. FAVOURITE PLACE (1) ran a decent 17.08 when filling a minor placing over 275m at this track last start. This is tougher but expected to be in the finish. SHACKELTON ACE (5) is always a threat when he draws this box.
