ATTAIN has served Archie Watson well. With rain forecast, the ground is unlikely to be as rattling fast as it was when he won over C&D last week, but assuming conditions remain on the faster side of good, he should follow up under a penalty. The well handicapped Berkeley Vale looks the chief threat, and interestingly he was successful in April 2016 on his return to turf last season.
