PESSOA (3) wound up strongly last time out to finish half a length adrift in second over 1700m at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and three placings from 10 tries. Sure to run well. BUNGLE BAY (5) started at $7 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. PENNY'S SPIRIT (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. DIDDY MAN (1) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Newcastle All Weather, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
