BAROOGA JIM (1) is having his first try over the longer journey. Comes here after a last start 6th and beaten 6 lengths (26.24) at Geelong. Looks a key chance on best form. ENGELKE ROAD (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fifth (28.68) at Bendigo last time. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Comes through a solid form race last start. A big run wouldn't surprise. MELVIN BALE (8) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (29.84) behind Radar O'reilly at this track. Bold showing expected. MOTOR CITY ROSSI (4) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 595m at this track. Others read better.
