FOLLOW CHARLIE goes well at this track and shaped as if still in good form in a stronger race than he need contest at Newcastle last month, so it's reasonable to assume he can resume winning ways back in a 0-100. Weaver's Answer is much respected under a penalty for all that the drop back in trip isn't sure to suit, while Kingston Rock didn't shape at all badly behind a handicap blot last time and is another to consider.
