BIT OF BANTER (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 6f at Bathurst two weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. EXTERNUS (1) was in the money two starts back at Wyong but couldn't back it up last time when 11th, beaten 8 lengths, at Gosford over 6f. Has the ability to take care of this field. EILRAHC (7) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 6f at Bathurst two weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHICO CASINO (3) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 7f at Bathurst, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
