Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: J Butler| OR: 50

6/1

Bit below form when fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (1m) 13 days ago, fading. The drop in trip might help. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Chasing Gold (11/4), Arlecchino's Gift (4/1), Encircle (6/1), Kurimu (6/1), Twitch (13/2), Southbank (13/2), Smasher (17/2), McCauley's Tavern (10/1), Dark Sorceress (11/1), Beau Jardine (12/1), Bungle Bay (16/1), Mary Of Modena (22/1)

The outside stall may not be a big negative for SOUTHBANK given that he's usually held up anyway and he can almost certainly win off this mark if things fall right. Chasing Gold has reached the fame on all 3 outings this year and is next on the list ahead of John Butler's Encircle.
