POCKETS WATSON (2) Faded to finish 4th last time at Casino. Can make a comeback but will be down in distance. Should be going forward early. Top prospects. CHARGE ON BLUE (8) Didn't find the line when 8th last run at Casino. Should improve and has a good draw. Rates well in this race. JILLIBY JUNIOR (7) Below standard effort when 6th last start at Casino. Has good finishing speed. Big danger. RIPPIN' JAKE (3) Was ordinary when 6th last time at Albion Park. Can feature.

Disappointing run when 8th last run at Casino but drawn beautifully. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Tailed off to finish 4th last time at Casino. Can make a comeback but dropping in distance. Won't be far away during the run. Strong claims.

Outpaced some runners late when 5th last start at Casino but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Prefer a race with softer competition.
