SHUDABOUGHTABOAT (7) finished third at Maryborough two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 4.5 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. MAJOR ROY (8) was in the money on debut two back then showed determination when he overcame a break to finish third, beaten 17 metres at the latest appearance over 1609m at this track. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. MISSMALACHITE (3) must be considered after she finished third over 1785m at Stawell a week ago. MISS DOOBEE (6) is at the track for the first time. By Art Major and hails from the S M Mcnaulty, J M Mcnaulty stable. Has strong trial form coming into this. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.
