DR. BENEDICT (1) won by 2.75 lengths last start at Sale 435m in a useful 24.40. In winning form and can measure up again. DR. EDDIE (2) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 4.5 lengths (24.78) at Sale. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Worth following up. CASH THE LOT (3) was unwanted in betting last start but proved too quick with an all-the-way win over 400m at Warragul in a Free For All, scoring by one length (22.62). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Form should stack up. SORRY I'M LATE (7) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 435m at Sale. That followed a win two back in 24.57 beating Night Sharid over 435m at Sale. Likely to find this too tough.
