THE LITTLE GENERAL (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 5½f at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. FAMOSO (7) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a third last start over 6f87yards at Canberra Acton. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be overlooked. WHO BUT ROO (1) scored two runs back then sat on the pace last time when 13 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. Hard to beat on his form from two starts ago. ROYAL AIR FORCE (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
