NETHERTON FRANCO (13) wasn't beaten all that far at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten just 2.75 metres into fifth. He has the ability to take care of this field. HALEY ROBYN (6) drew wide once again last start but did a good job, beaten 10 metres into second at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CRACKER OPIE (14) is open to further improvement at his third career start after scoring last time out over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Likely to be around the mark again. TIMBIMBOO (3) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at Addington over 1980m. Each way value.
