AVOIDANCE (2) comes back in grade after contesting the Fitzpatrick Plate two back and a Saturday race at Ascot most recently. He jumped favourite in the Fitzpatrick and coming back to 1100m is no issue. Can be on the speed from the barrier and looks the one to beat. FRANTIC WAR (5) capitalised on his good run of form with a 0.4L win at Mt Barker last time out. This is a tougher race today, but he drops plenty of weight and Derrick is 2/2 when partnering. Sure to be up front in the run and will make his presence felt. AGENT JAY (3) is looking for the hat-trick after back-to-back wins in this grade, with his most recent coming over 1500m here. He's right back in trip today, though he sprinted well two back and he has to be included. MORGS FREEMAN (4) is better than he's shown his past couple and getting back to 1100m is a big tick for him. Can run an improved race.
