BANKER MATT (8) won his maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1207m at this track. Has a decent record at this track. Leading contender. ACQUIRE (6) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a nose away in second over 1509m at this track. Should be in the finish again. CHARLIE'S PRIZE (7) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 0.9 lengths into third over 1509m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. ACKNOWLEDGE (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 8 when beaten 0.8 lengths into fifth at this track over 1609m after being prominent until the final stages. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
