METRIC MAN (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1106m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a leading contender. ESKIMO CHARLIE (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 1106m at this track. Strips fitter and can bounce back. DOCKET (5) got well back over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 9 lengths away in fifth. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. PASSED PROMISE (2) was returning from a 178-day layoff last start but he at this track. Likely to feature.
