EASTOWN (4) was below his best last time, finishing 11th and beaten 9 lengths over 7f at Eagle Farm. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CRYPTIC SOUND (8) finished third last time out over 6¾f at Warwick, making it three career minor placings. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from four starts. Will find this a little tougher but is among the leading chances. BETTER BE SLICK (1) tackled city class last start when tenth over 7f at Eagle Farm. Backmarker who gets home hard. Among the main hopes. CLUBHOUSE (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 7f at Grafton, beaten a long neck. Should be cherry-ripe. Likely improver with solid claims.
