BLACKJACK WHACKO (8) started favourite when resuming but manners let him down. Showed ability when he was beaten just a head into second at Bendigo in his only other appearance. Should strip fitter and can win if he gets it right. THEROUX (4) did some work last start so it may pay to forgive that result. Recorded a string of top-four finishes prior and placed the only time he attempted this circuit and distance so is worth another chance. MY MATE ACE (3) has only once missed a place in five starts and is suited dropping to maiden grade after a good effort last time out to finish second at Shepparton. ROMAN CHARLIE (7) raced parked from a similar draw but boxed on for fourth at his most recent appearance here. Include.
