ALWAYS PACKEN (5) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MR POOLS (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GITOLE (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1106m. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. Winning claims on best figures. GRIZZ AT THE GATE (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
