BARRIER (1) produced a better effort last time out when he scored by 3 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can make it consecutive wins. THANOS (4) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 12 metres into fifth at this track over 1609m. Meets a comparable field and from this more favourable draw he can feature in the finish. EL YERNO (3) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. BADLANDS CASINO (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at this track last time out.
