ANIMADO (1) finished seventh last start over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 14 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2190m at Shepparton. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and has the class to take care of this field. FEEL THE REIGN (11) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 2 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TOO THE MAX (10) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at Terang over 1680m. RANDOM MAHONEY (9) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
