Leading chance. FULL SCREEN (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1811m at this track (Dirt) but could only manage fourth, although only 2 lengths from the winner. Generally runs well second-up. Has a decent record at this trip with seven minor placings from nine tries and is one of the major players. BANK FRENZY (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last time out over 1811m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) when well supported. Manuel Franco who has six wins when partnering stays on. One of the contenders. BOURBON DAY (4) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1811m at this track (Dirt).

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd in a small field at this track on June 5 over 1811m, 0.6 len behind Money Game with 56kg at $8.92. The run before that got back early 4th in a small field at Aqueduct on April 26 over 1408m, 4 len behind Ignite The Light carrying 56kg at $3.42. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
