WATERMELON (1) is a distance specialist who finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3.5 lengths as public elect over 1m1 1/2f at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BEAT HOLLOW (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 7f at Beaudesert after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AUTUNNO (5) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second when he worked home well at the end of 1m1 1/2f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. WEEKEND ARTIST (7) is a 14-start maiden who finished second over 1m2f at Gatton last time out. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish.
