PAYNTER'S PRODIGY (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1646m at this track (Dirt) when beaten half a length. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Among the leading chances. DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR (3) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1646m at this track. Will be hard to beat. POLITICAL RIOT (7) is fitter for two runs from a spell, last start finishing 0.6 lengths away in third over 1646m at this track (Dirt). Worth including. STREET GLIDE (9) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in tenth over 1646m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
