Verdict

BEAT THE BANK (6) has been tackling stronger company of late and hasn't been too far away. Registered another sound performance last time when he battled on well to finish fifth at this circuit and distance. Has the class to take care of this field. VINTAGE BLU (2) put the writing on the wall when second last start at Northam. Draws well again and is capable of playing a major role. ELWADDELL (5) had a tough draw last time and was taking on stronger company prior so can do better. FRISKY STYX (8) is a two-time second-up winner so expect improvement off the fresh effort.
