CITY OF BOULDER (7) won last start over 6¼f at this track, making it two victories from four appearances this campaign. Can measure up again. SIR MAXIMUS (2) ran below his best when fifth last start over 7¾f at Mackay, beaten 4.5 lengths. Definitely worth another chance. BRADSHAW (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 7½f at this track. Worth noting Jason Taylor goes aboard. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. THE REAL THING (4) finished third at Pakenham Synthetic two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 5f at Home Hill, finishing 8 lengths back in tenth. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
