Previous course winner BOMBER JACKSON twice went close over this trip during a good spell to end last year, off the same mark and coming back from a break, he appears to hold decent claims in the finale if ready to do himself justice. Cristy's Call has won over the C&D and, while it was some time ago, there were signs last month on two visits that he's going to strike another blow sometime soon. Free State and Crafty Codger did enough in their previous runs here to merit going on the shortlist while Any Time's effort behind the progressive War Goddess four weeks ago could bring him into the equation if able to build on it. Handicap debutant Snake Eyes wouldn't need to improve much to have a say and is worth a look in the market.
