THE BULLION BOMBER (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 7 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Top chance again. MIDNIGHT FURY (6) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track (Turf) with a win as favourite over 1m at this track (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. DEPARTURE (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. CANDY FOR CARMEL (4) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the R Baltas barn. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Delaware Park (Dirt) eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Has to be respected.
