GALLANT OAK (6) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1106m at this track. Has switched to the Mike Taphorn stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. IT'S A FLUKE (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 25 lengths into fourth over 1006m at this track. Has a solid second up record. Fitter so expect a better run this time. BANDERA AZTECA (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on September 24, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths over 1106m at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Elton Dickey. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. UNDER BUDGET (9) last appeared when she scored over 1408m at this track on October 7. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
