BLACKRANGE GLORY (10) finished eighth last start, beaten 45 metres at Maryborough over 2190m. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Won't find this any harder and he can play a major role in the outcome. ATABOY CHARLIE (5) finished eighth last start over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 45 metres, after finishing second at Ararat the run prior. His last run should be overlooked. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. TUBS NOW SLIM (6) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at Geelong nine days ago. CHAMPAGNES (1) was out of the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished a distant last over 2190m at Maryborough. Has the benefit of a good draw. Only needs to get things right to be in the money.
