NOELS SPIDER (3) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (16.26), making it four straight minors. Has the ability and expected to go close. BLACKSTONE BENNY (1) is progressing well scoring last time out (18.04) at Drumbo Park and bringing up his 7th career win. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Rates a winning chance on best. OREILLYS SAMMY (2) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Nottingham over 480m behind Wakawaka Eh Eh (29.46) in a OR. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Expected to feature in the finish. YANKEE LEADER (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.
