CINNAMON (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAIN GROOVE (2) finished fourth at his most recent outing, beaten 7 metres, in a nice return to form at Newcastle over 2030m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. SYNCOPATED SHUFFLE (3) is in the mix at her first run since scoring over 1609m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. BETABRO (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1760m at Narrabri.
