MYSTIC MAX (9) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. GOLD BULLION (5) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 2200m at Alexandra Park on December 6. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. MIDNIGHT DASH (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m. Must be included. ONE OVER ALL (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway last time out. Watch closely.
