JUDO (5) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 5 lengths over 7f at this track. Boasts seven wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. ELSTON GUNNN (1) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Western Warrior over 1m1f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from nine outings. Among the leading chances. DOMINANT SPIRIT (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 0. 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 6f at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. WHAT'S SHAKIN (8) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track, finishing 11 lengths from the winner. Deserves serious consideration.
