Bolted In should be ready to peak after two runs back from a spell chasing home Lovely Lookin' on both occasions. He was placed behind Steparty at Flemington back in June, he draws a poor barrier but looks hard to beat. A Touch Frosty lightly raced four-year-old who has been in the money at four of six starts his only win coming here back in April when he beat Katim's Club when a $2.35 favourite. That looks good form for this, and he should be right in the mix. Tales Of Conflict has been racing well an in the money at three or four starts here comes off a Parks win beating Delightful Shecky and should be in the mix. The Ladies Man put together consecutive wins back in class before he was narrowly beaten at Port Lincoln behind I Need A Drink who has won again since. Wide gate might be the issue. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY has been racing well and comes off a solid effort when 2nd behind MAVETTE got back but made very good ground to defeat pretty or reliable first up from a freshman draws a nice gate and must be respected.
