BACK: 1. Snow Hunter (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $1.70)
Banking on outstanding front-running driver Jason Lee to kick up at the start here and hold the top. Huge run last time out & super-fit for this race tonight.

LAY: 7. Fairplay (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $5.00)
Just missed last time out when ran well but this race has a bit more depth and the draw is a lot tougher than last time – looks a risk.
