SANTASTICO (9) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 6f at this track. Ready to find winning form. CRIPPS TONITE (3) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished in the money two runs back and followed that with an unplaced effort, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f on turf at Randwick. Change of jockey to Koby Jennings who has a strong record when aboard, including two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. FRENCHMANS BAY (5) resumed over 5f at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Leading chance on best form. CHARTWELL HOUSE (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 24 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Pakenham Synthetic over 6f after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
