STEW BOB (7) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.75 lengths, (22.99) at this track. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. One of the contenders. BEAR INSTINCTS (2) is a promising type who notched his 12th career success when too good (18.23) at Potts Park last time. Form here sound including eight wins. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. One of the prime contenders. GEORGIE IZMIR (4) turned in a plain performance last time when eighth at this track over 400m behind Shima Snake (24.32) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JUMANJI TWISTER (5) generally performs well over this distance.
