CRACKERJACK GUS (6) boasts strong form at this distance having won three times from four starts. Placed last time (25.63) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN H, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. WRINKLED HENRY (7) finished second (22.49) two back at Ballarat but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Great chance to atone.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth over 390m at this track, beaten 6 lengths (22.72) behind Frankie's Rocket in a Grade 7 on October 5. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 5 length third (25.63) over 450m at Ballarat. Expected to go very well.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (22.49) over 390m at Ballarat. Drawn out wide and prefer the place this line-up.
