GORTKELLY JOHN (4) has a strong record here with nine wins and seven placings from 21 starts. Recorded a 4 length win (28.96) in an A3 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. MYSTICAL RANGER (6) is rarely out of the finish, recording 10 places from 19 starts. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (29.21) at this track. Leading chance. DROOPYS YETI (5) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Gortkelly John in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Holds top-three claims.
