FROSTED PUNK (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1710m at this track. Likely contender with strong prospects. MESSAGEFROMTHEKING (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 25 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1106m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. JACKPOT CREE (10) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has a wide gate to overcome but he is a great chance to go back-to-back. ESPERANZITO (9) has been out of the winners list for a long time, last start finishing second at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m. Has a decent record this track with a win and four places from eight starts and is worth including.
