Comments: Canterbury 3-3 Calais Lion has won nicely at his two runs at Grafton and comes into this race pretty well after the claim, which will give him 4.5kg advantage over McClintock who looks a clear favourite. Doomben 6-3 More On The Toe plummets in grade from his OK run behind Woody 'n' Buzz here last month. Looks a genuine $2 shot though I do have a query over the More Than Ready breed on ground worse than dead. Doomben 7-8 Unintentional finally broke her duck after 19 starts two starts back and then ran a really good race at the Gold Coast behind Askew. That horse would start $1.50 in this race so she must have a fair chance even if she does drop in distance.

Black Book: Bendigo 6-1 In The Shadows has a class advantage over these and has the weight to show for it. He'll get up on the pace and roll away from them late. The 60kg will only improve our odds.
