CHIEF DRIBBLE (8) goes very well at the course with two wins and a placing from four starts. Placed last time (26.41) at Ascot Park in a Class 4/5, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. JOHNNY FOOTBALL (5) goes very well at this journey having never missed the frame including 19 wins and three placings. Comes off a (38.87) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Class 2/3 over 660m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. BIG TIME BAM (7) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 520m at Wanganui in a handy 30.19. In form and looks a leading player again. BIG TIME SPECIAL (6) is worth some thought after placing in an impressive time last start.
