Eleusis has been getting closer in handicaps and should go well while Fredricka won over 5f at Redcar in April and has gone close again since. But BONDI BEACH BOY has finally slipped back down to a winning mark and, after showing up to better effect at Haydock last time, James Turner's charge gets the nod. Hoofalong has tumbled down the weights and could bounce back at any time while Thatcherite is not out of this off his current mark and Windforpower regularly makes the frame.
