B T CAPTIVATE NZ (10) settled handy then took control and dug deep to score narrowly over 1800m at Globe Derby Park a week ago. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. TWIN CONNECTION (3) finished fourth last start over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at Globe Derby Park the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance if he is at his best. WHATA OPTIMIST (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.75 metres at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. GRUMPYPANTS GRACIE (4) has each-way claims off a last-start win by a head at Globe Derby Park over 1800m.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) held up early, at Globe Derby Park (2:11.20) beating Bay La Ville in on October 3 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 4. Sure to go well again.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
