ASK ARTHUR (2) did a great job to score by 0.3 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. BATTLE CRUISER (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 24 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1673m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. EASY MUNNINGS (1) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to take this out. SAND PAYNTER (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 19 lengths away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
