MANHATTAN THUNDER (2) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 5f at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1. 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. WILF (7) was never in contention when 6 lengths from the winner in 11th over 6f at Swan Hill last start, a less impressive effort than his when resuming ninth at Sale the run before. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. STORMBOURG (4) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 5f at this track, finishing second and beaten 0. 8 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. RUBY AVENUE (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at this track, beaten one length. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
