INSIDER TRADING (7) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 1750m at Swan Hill, finishing second and just 2.75 metres from the winner. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. RANDOM MAHONEY (4) filled a minor placing at Swan Hill two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 13 metres. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. WICHITA KANSAS (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Ballarat over 2200m. Must be included. SHEEZ SLASHING (3) ended last prep with a seventh at Mildura over 2190m five months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.
