ALTA CLASSIC A (1) has been excellent of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 1.5 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance based on those recent efforts. TWIG (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MIND HUNTER (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: PYRO (7)
