AVOCA BLUES (9) finished sixth last start over 1790m at this track, beaten 13 metres, after a good second at this track the run prior. No favours expected from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. GRENADE (8) turned in a poor effort by his standards most recently when 12 metres away in sixth over 2190m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn the recent effort around. CHEERS POVERTY (4) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1790m at this track a week ago. RONZEL MICKY (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
