MAJOR BERT (3) is in good form with top-four finishes in his last three outings, all from wider draws than this. Finished second at his latest appearance at Melton, beaten 2.2 metres after racing parked. Races well here and has the benefit of a good draw. ANAKIN (8) has been racing well of late, finishing top-three in his last five outings including a Kilmore win. Came from this barrier for second at his latest appearance at Melton and there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Owns a good record here and has strong claims. KATUNGA EXPRESS (6) has been racing consistently and is on the radar in this line-up. THE NAKED ART (2) had a tough draw in the last-start fourth but should not have any excuses from this favourable draw.
