THE TOWN (4) lifted strongly to score by 0.8 lengths three runs back at Ellis Park (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SHAFT'S BULLET (5) is going well with three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Continued the trend last start when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Has the class to figure prominently. OTAGO (1) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1710m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ASSUME NOTHING (7) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1673m at Delaware Park. Reunites with Jamie Rodriguez who is yet to miss the top three from six rides, including two wins. Among the main hopes.
