CORMAN (6) scored by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last start. Has a very good record here including two wins from three starts. Sure to be there at the business end. BEECHMONT (3) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 1.75 lengths over 905m at Charles Town (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. HARBOUR BRIDGE (2) fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. GAMBOLING GHOST (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the mark again. Something for the Multiples: CUPIX (7)
