Elemraan has been getting closer as he slips down the weights and Commodore tries his luck over a longer trip having gone close over 7f here the last twice. Dutiful Son ran well at a big price in a higher grade here last time and Townsville beat Librisa Breeze over track and trip in a maiden race early in the year but was tailed off on his reappearance. KHALAAS was expected to do better at Salisbury last time but is worth another chance on his earlier efforts with his stable back in flying form this month - he gets a tentative vote to bounce back.
