AMBLER GAMBLER goes in search of a four-timer here and while his new mark has kicked in, he may not have finished progressing just yet. Gardiners Hill is another who arrives in flying form and should enjoy the conditions here while Leg Lock Luke seems a mercurial type but is likely to put it all together in a race like this at some stage. 1. Amber Gambler 2. Gardiners Hill 3. Leg Lock Luke
