ERNIE MCCRACKEN upped his form when second at Gowran on handicap debut recently and, with this longer trip promising to bring more still out of him, he's a confident choice to open his account. The in-form Robinstown should put up another bold bid from the front and Bay Ambition is no forlorn hope with the return to smaller obstacles in her favour.
