AKAKA FALLS (13) produced a solid effort last time when fourth over 5f at Hawkesbury. The extra journey should play into his hands. Worth following up. MISSION VALUE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6¼f at Canterbury, beaten 3.5 lengths. Second up record is sound. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. BAT OUT OF HELL (9) finished seventh over 7¾f at Randwick Kensington at his most recent appearance on August 2. Sure to make his presence felt. OUTREACH TO HENRY (11) produced a reasonable effort when fourth last start over 5½f at Rosehill. That followed a win at Taree the start prior. Should be thereabouts.
