CROOKS JANUARY (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and four minors from 18 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.02) when sixth over 480m at this track in an A3. With a clean break looks hard to beat. RANCHERS LUCY (2) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Tino On Fire (30.42) in an A7. Was in the money prior to that. Should be about the money. A BIT OF MAUR (3) was a winner (30.05) two back off the rails draw then got further back last time but came home hard into fourth at this track (30.27). Must be included in calculations. CLEAR EYES (6) has been impressive of late in handicaps. Placed two runs back at this track then won at his latest appearance by 1.75 lengths when jumped from scratch at this track over 480m (29.62). Will start off scratch. Talented handicapper who has 15 wins and 11 placings from 34 runs from the staggered start. In the mix again.
