DOWN THE WICKET (5) returns after a lay-off of five months. Looking to emulate his win at Darwin at the beginning of last prep. Should be hard to stop. BAHAMA BAY (3) finished 1. 2 lengths back in fifth over 5f at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Good enough to take this out. EXPERT WITNESS (4) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four outings this campaign, finishing a neck away in third most recently over 5f at this track. Must be included in calculations. GREAT GUST (2) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this track and distance last start in a nice progression the when resuming run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
