STRAPPARSI (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6½f at Ballina. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CRITICAL TIME (13) fought on well to finish second last start over 5f at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths when resuming. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SINGLE TOUCH (3) lifted strongly to score last time with 0.8 lengths to spare over 5½f at this track, making it two on the bounce. Has a strong association with Courtney Bellamy who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Has winning claims on best figures. MAXIMUM VORTEX (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Beaudesert, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
