THE MOUNTAIN (5) finished sixth last start over 2270m at Riverina Paceway but gave a good account, beaten only 1.75 metres. Has the talent to take care of this field. THE CLOCK WINDER (9) finished fourth at Riverina Paceway two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 3 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. THE LURKER (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. REASON TO PARTY (8) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1720m at Dubbo two runs ago. Each way value.
