LIGHTNING GAL (7) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1500m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIG MAX (4) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fifth over 1275m at this track. Better than last run suggests - can atone. GANBATTE (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.75 lengths at today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can get the job done. TANTHEMAN (10) finished third last time over 1275m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but it deserves its chance.
