SLADES TANK (7) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on November 22 over 1207m when he got home by 0.3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is one of the chief contenders. OOEY GOOEY CHEWY (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WASHITA VALLEY (1) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BOOZEINTHEBLENDER (4) last raced just a week-and-a-half ago when sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects.
