WHISKEY N SODA (3) is a distance specialist who finished seventh two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being in contention on the bend over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BOB JOHN RAY (4) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by a nose last time out over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. HOURS IN A DAY (6) finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from seven starts at this circuit. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. HEY TOBY (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 13 lengths back in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Worth including.
