AMERICAN ME (5) had been about the mark consistently then kept the ball rolling last start when he finished third over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 11 metres to make it three minor placings from his past four starts. Has the ability to take care of this field. MATAI PHIL (3) finished second last start, beaten a neck, in a nice return to form at this track over 2200m. Big chance in a similar assignment. SEACLUSION (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1700m at this track last time out. HERB (2) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway two runs back when trying to lead all of the way.
